A predator who sexually assaulted a young woman has been jailed for four years.
Glen Bruce pounced on his victim at a party near Cupar in June last year.
Jurors at Dundee Sheriff Court heard Bruce’s victim now suffers from night terrors and struggles to sleep alone.
The 21-year-old forced her to drink wine before pinning her on to a sofa and removing her clothing.
The woman managed to escape Bruce and he was found guilty of assaulting her with intent to rape.
The court heard Bruce had told several people that he wanted to have sex with the woman.
Sheriff Alastair Brown said when passing sentence: “You have shown no shred, no hint, of remorse.
“Your conduct has had a serious, long-term, psychological and emotional effect on your victim.
“Your offence was the culmination of a course of offending over the course of an evening. It was not opportunistic.”
Bruce was also placed on the sex offenders register for life by Sheriff Brown.
Bruce, of Bankwell Crescent, Strathmiglo, Fife, was found guilty of grabbing the woman by the knee, forcing a bottle of wine into her hand and forcing her to drink on June 2 2018.
He pushed her on the body, caused her to fall on to a sofa, pushed her arm, placed his hand on her throat and held her on a sofa before removing her trousers and underwear as well as making sexual remarks towards her.
