A serial sex pest set free in the community targeted another two women just days later.

Kevin Uwaifo has now terrified six women within months in Clydebank and Glasgow, including a pensioner and a teenager.

He narrowly avoided being locked up in September for two of the attacks - only days after he admitted two charges in the city.

But despite being on the sex offenders register from two courts, he struck again in Clydebank.

The 20-year-old is now behind bars as he awaits sentences in two courts.

He has repeatedly used the same ploy - to approach women and tell them there was a spider on them as an excuse to touch them.

Uwaifo, of Hood Street, appeared at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on November 19 where his latest crimes emerged.

In May, he told a 53-year-old woman out with her grandchildren in Glasgow that there was a spider on her before repeatedly rubbing her bottom.

Two days later, he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old schoolgirl, grabbing her bottom after claiming there was a spider.

After each of those incidents, he was released on police or court bail.

And on August 8 in Clydebank, he struck twice more, against a woman at Singer Station and then minutes later on a footpath to Clydebank Business Park.

He pleaded guilty to the Glasgow crimes, then the Clydebank ones. On September 10, he was put under social work supervision for two years and ordered to do 100 hours of unpaid work.

Both courts put him on the sex offenders register.

And then on September 22, Uwaifo followed a woman into a lift at Peel View, Clydebank, and held a mobile phone beside his face, appearing to film her. He followed her out onto the same floor, asked a question, then went up the stairs and then back down the building. The woman was left in a state of fear and alarm.

The next day, at the town's Attlee Avenue, he followed another woman from behind and said there was a spider on her back. He said it had gone under her clothing and she should lift her upper clothing to remove the bug. She was also left in a state of fear and alarm.

Uwaifo pleaded guilty to the most recent crimes on October 30.

Sentence was deferred to November 19 when he returned to court.

But the case had to be put off again to await a psychiatric report going to Glasgow Sheriff Court next week.

Sheriff Euan Cameron referred to the "concerning" offending. Uwaifo's defence solicitor said her client was "keen" not to delay sentencing.

But the sheriff said he had a "bigger duty to the public". Sentence was deferred until December and the man will remain in custody.
