Man found guilty of raping teenage girl at Renfrew house

A sex attacker raped a teenage girl after claiming he wanted "five minutes of fun".

Ramsay Morris pounced on the 15 year-old at a house in Renfrew, Renfrewshire in 2010.

The High Court in Glasgow heard the 26 year-old initially "pressured" the girl to kiss him.

In his closing speech, prosecutor Michael Meehan told jurors: "There was no one in the house at the time.

"He stated that he wanted 'five minutes of fun'. He then unbuttoned his trousers and the girl said no."

Morris also said to his young victim: "Have you never done this before? Well, you have now."

The barman, also of Renfrew, sobbed today after he was convicted following a trial.

He was also found guilty of attempting to rape a woman and sexually assaulting a 14 year-old girl in 2011.

As he was lead handcuffed to the cells, Morris moaned: "Why? I did not do anything."

He was remanded in custody pending sentencing next month.

After the rape, Morris attacked a 14 year-old girl at the same house in Renfrew.

She had initially agreed to watch a film with Morris.

But, the teenager eventually fled and had to be picked up by her mum.

Morris then tried to rape a woman at a house in King's Park, Glasgow later in 2011.

He struck after she bent down to pick up a phone.

Jurors heard he forced his hand in her mouth to "stop her moaning".

Judge Michael O'Grady QC deferred sentencing for reports.

Morris was remanded in custody meantime.
