The owner and director of a hotel in the Scottish Highlands has been handed an 18 month prison sentence after admitting assaulting a male guest in his room.
Judge Lord Young told William Parsons that his victim's level of intoxication was "obvious" to police officers and his own colleagues. "Your victim was heavily intoxicated, he was in a vulnerable state and he was a guest within your hotel," he said. "Rather than looking after your intoxicated guest, you took advantage of him."The High Court in Edinburgh heard that Parsons, 71, carried a tray of drinks to his victim's room before the attack took place.
The victim woke up in a distressed state and messaged a friend on social media concerned that something sexual had happened without his consent.That friend called the police.
