A pervert who groped a waitress in a plush suite at a Scooter concert avoided jail today.
Artur Sobbek, 51, preyed on the woman at Glasgow's Hydro arena on October 31 2024.
Sobbek had attended the gig and was stood in a VIP area at the time.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that Sobbek, of Kirkaldy, Fife, initially stared at the woman which made her feel uncomfortable.
The waitress took the decision not to serve Sobbek unless other members of staff were with her.
Prosecutor Katie Malcolm said: "At 8.20pm, Sobbek approached her while smiling at her.
"He put his hand on her shoulder, ran his hand down her back and touched her buttocks.
"The woman immediately stepped away and said 'don't touch me'."
The woman told her colleagues and was noted to be "visibly upset."
