Man Jailed After Admitting Stripping Woman In Busy Bar

A man who humiliated a woman by stripping her naked from the waist down in a busy Glasgow pub has been jailed for almost two years. Andrew Smart, 31, was captured on CCTV holding the girl up as he kissed her although she then fell on to the floor. Minutes later sat with his phone as she lay drunk on the ground on the mezzanine level of Coopers Bar on Great Western Road. He knelt down by her head before moving to the other end of her body and he stripped her from the waist down. A member of staff pulled him away from the 25-year-old and an ambulance was contacted but Smart left the pub, despite being told to stay. At Glasgow Sheriff Court Smart, from Yoker, pled guilty to sexually assaulting the girl - who cannot be named - on February 25, 2012. He admitted that he kissed her while she was drunk and unable to consent, touched her and partially undressed her. Sheriff John McCormick jailed Smart for 22 years and imposed an extended sentence meaning he will be supervised for six months after his release.
