A DELIVERY driver who repeatedly groped a great grandmother in her own home walked free from court.

Graham Kennedy patted the 73-year-old woman on the breast "three or four times" at the flat in in Glasgow's Possilpark on November 10, 2020.

The retired cook bravely confronted the Hermes driver who apologised and told her he was trying to "pat her tummy."

She was further alarmed when Kennedy delivered to her a few weeks after she had reported him to the company he was doing deliveries for.

Kennedy denied the single sexual assault charge on the woman at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

He claimed during his trial that he tickled the woman amid claims she told him she was lonely.

But, he was convicted by Sheriff Valerie Mays who ordered him to do 175 hours of unpaid work.

He was also put under supervision and the sex offenders register for 12 months.

The court heard Kennedy arrived at the woman's flat to collect rugs to return to the Wayfair company.

Prosecutor Derek Buchanan asked the victim in evidence which company he worked for.

The woman replied: "Hermes."

She added: "When I opened the door, he had no mask on.

"I said stand back, there are three or four rugs at the bottom of my door."

The woman claimed Kennedy had a problem as there appeared to be no returns labels on the rugs.

She called Wayfair's customer service meantime.

The woman said: "He came in [the living room] with one of the rugs in his hand.

"He said he would open up one of the rugs to see if there was a returns label inside.

"He came and sat next to me on the sofa before I knew it...he patted me on my left breast three or four times."

Mr Buchanan asked if she invited Kennedy to sit down.

She replied: "I didn't invite him into my house never mind my sofa.

"I was so taken aback...I jumped up in shock.

"I said 'I'm an old woman'.

"It was just the shock of a young man doing that to an old woman.

"He said he didn't mean it and he meant to pat my tummy."

The woman called Kennedy a "dirty b******" and ordered him to "get out" her flat.

She then called Wayfair to complain about Kennedy's conduct.

The woman said she felt "worn out" after having to repeat the circumstances to Wayfair and Hermes.

She stated that "three or four weeks" later Kennedy delivered a car cover to her from the Aldi supermarket.

She said: "He put the parcel down and moved back, I was just in total shock.

"I remember him saying 'did you get the rugs uplifted?' and he walked away."

Mr Buchanan asked how to the woman felt about the first incident.

She replied: "Totally disgusted, I can't express in words how I felt.

"My person was invaded by a stranger.

"When you are a great grandmother, you don't expect someone to do that to you in your own home."

David Fisken, defending, told the sentencing that Kennedy, of Glasgow, continues to deny the offence.

The lawyer added: "He acknowledges his behaviour was fairly inappropriate.

"This is an offence which has clearly impacted on his life as he has lost his job, the football team he was part of and hopefully temporarily, his address."
