Man carried out sexual assaults at city college

Jamie Robertson, 24, was convicted of carrying out the attacks over the course of the last two years.

Some of them took place at Dundee and Angus College’s Gardyne campus in the eastern end of the city.

Robertson had appeared at Dundee Sheriff Court on trial after denying 10 charges against him.

But a sheriff found him guilty after trial of seven sexual assaults.

During his case, one complainer giving evidence said Robertson had touched her in an inappropriate way.

She told the court: “His hand went from my knee to my thigh in a slow creeping way.

“I asked him not to touch me and moved his hand away and tried to move away from him.”

She said that she felt uneasy with Robertson’s behaviour and that she perceived some of what he said to her to be sexual innuendo.

She added that on another occasion Robertson had snuck up behind her and ran his hand up her leg as she stood at a computer.

Meanwhile, a second complainer told the court that she had been left upset by a show she had watched the night before.

Robertson asked her if she was OK and they spoke about her emotions for a while.

He then offered to give the woman a hug.

The woman said: “He hugged me, then I went to pull away and he pulled me tighter, then tried to lean in for a kiss.

“I struggled against him, wriggled around and tried to push him away, then he finally let me go.”

Four of the sexual assaults Robertson carried out were on one woman.

One of these attacks happened between 2014 and 2015, with the others taking place last year and earlier this year.

Three of them happened at the college with a fourth taking place at a property elsewhere in Dundee.

He also sexually assaulted another woman on college premises i n 2015.

And he further attacked a third woman at the college last year.

A spokesman for Dundee and Angus College said: “The court case has proved a stressful time for staff and students and we are all relieved to see it is now concluded.”

Robertson, of Dundee Street, Carnoustie, had sentence deferred until December 9 for reports.

He was placed on the sex offenders register meantime.
