A teenager who broke into a flat and sexually assaulted a sleeping woman has been handed a 14-year sentence.
Pervert Jamie McIntosh, 18, broke into a property in Menzies Road, Torry, Aberdeen, and performed a sex act on the female, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard yesterday that he climbed into the woman’s bed before assaulting her.
Judge Lord Bannatyne sentenced McIntosh, an inmate of the young offenders institute at Polmont, Stirlingshire, to four years and ordered him to be supervised by the authorities for 10 years following his release.
Defence advocate Brian McConnachie told the judge his client was “extremely immature”.
Mr McConnachie added: “Intellectually, he is society’s bottom five per cent.”
McIntosh admitted the offence, which happened on August 18 last year, at the High Court in Aberdeen last month.
Sentence had been deferred until yesterday so the court could get a report into McIntosh’s character.
Mr McConnachie urged Lord Bannatyne not to consider giving McIntosh an Order for Lifelong Restriction, successfully arguing that his client should be made the subject of a normal extended sentence.
