DAD OF THREE JAILED FOR SEXUALLY ASSAULTING WOMAN MET ON DATING APP
A 56-year-old man named Barry Stevenson has been sentenced to a custodial term after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman he met through an online dating application.
The incident occurred on August 5, 2023, and involved Stevenson putting his hand up the woman's dress, sexually assaulting her, biting her breast, and acting against her will.
The woman reported that she fled the scene after the assault and was later assisted by a passing delivery driver.
Stevenson claimed the encounter was consensual, but the victim insisted it was non-consensual.
Stevenson was arrested, charged, and brought to trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, where he was convicted by a jury.
The court sentenced him to 21 months in prison, placed him on the sex offenders' register for 10 years, and issued a non-harassment order preventing any contact with the victim for the same period.
