A GREENOCK man 'lost his temper' with a drunk 16-year-old girl and assaulted her after she spurned his sexual advances, a trial has heard.

Graeme Anderson, 29, made threats of violence and chased her through streets in Gourock in the early hours of the morning.

He admitted to being a 'bit raging' but claimed this was because the girl and her 15-year-old cousin were blaring loud music and being what he termed as a 'buzz kill'.

Anderson is now beginning a prison sentence after being found guilty of behaving aggressively, repeatedly seizing and pushing the older teenager, tripping her and kneeling on top of her.

He and a pal had picked up the already drunk girls in a taxi and taken them to the friend's flat on Gourock's Albert Road.

Giving evidence, the victim told Greenock Sheriff Court: "I felt sick and didn't want to do it.

"Graeme became angry that I didn't want to have sexual contact."

Anderson claimed: "They kept turning the music up and we didn't want another noise complaint.

"She stormed out of the flat and her cousin went after her.

"We were trying to get them to screw the nut."

He added: "This is blown all out of proportion and I'm being made out to be a monster, and I'm not.

"I get agitated easily because of ADHD and people can take that as me being aggressive when I'm not."

Anderson said he had taken the drug MDMA as well as booze on the night.

He told the court that he wasn't in an 'official relationship' with the 16-year-old but had 'winched her a couple of times when steaming'.

He said: "I was in the bathroom with her, kissing."

Prosecutor Lindy Scaife said: "You were hoping things would go further. You wanted to have sex with her in the toilet."

Anderson replied: "No, why would I do it in a toilet?"

Ms Scaife put it to him: "When she didn't want to go further you lost your temper."

Anderson replied: "No."

He said he didn't 'recall' telling the girl that he would batter her dad and smash her windows, telling the court: "Even if I did say it, they would know I didn't mean anything by it."

Anderson added: "This is a waste of taxpayers' money, you should be dealing with real criminals instead of doing this nonsense."

Ms Scaife pointed out that the trial had heard evidence from both girls.

Anderson responded: "She's probably put her wee cousin up to this — this is a sham.

"This is pure shocking, wow man, this isn't fair."

He added: "I've been done with violence before but I never done this.

"I never rag-dolled her."

Fiscal depute Ms Scaife pointed out: "She had scratches on her back and bruising around her eye."

Anderson replied: "I could punch myself on the face and say you'd done it."

Summing up the case, Ms Scaife submitted that the girl was a 'compelling witness', adding: "When she was asked about the accused chasing her she became upset because she was terrified at the time and because she didn't know what was going to happen."

In finding Anderson guilty, Sheriff Eoin McGinty told him: "You and your friend collected the girls in a taxi.

"You were in the bathroom with the 16-year-old and it is clear that there came a point when she became upset.

"I found the girls to be credible and reliable witnesses."

Anderson, formerly of Bawhirley Road in Greenock, committed the offences in the early hours of September 5.

Sheriff McGinty imposed a 10-month prison sentence on him.
