iStockA man groped a waitress in a VIP area during a Scooter concert.
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 of the incident.
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.”
Police working at the concert were informed and traced Sobbek in order to arrest him.
Sobbek told officers: “I only touched her hand.”
He pleaded guilty on Wednesday to sexual assault.
Sentence was deferred pending background reports until October by Sheriff Bernard Ablett.
Sobbek was granted bail and put on the sex offenders register meantime.
