A SEX predator who raped a young woman is behind bars.

Rami Brimo pounced on his vulnerable victim at a flat in Glasgow's Parnie Street near the city's Saltmarket in October 2017.

The charge included accusations the 27 year-old molested the woman before removing her trousers and struggling with her.

Brimo, of the city's Springburn, had denied the attack.

But, he was convicted on Thursday following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.

After the verdict, prosecutor Euan Cameron revealed Brimo was a first offender.

Lord Burns deferred sentencing until March 23 in Edinburgh.

The judge told Brimo: "In light of the offence, I have to remand you in custody until that time."
