Peter McGuiness, 59, targeted his victim in the early 1990s. The Crown Office said the abuse turned sexual following a death in the teenager's family.
A retired teacher has been jailed for three years for indecently assaulting a teenage boy in the 1990s. Peter McGuiness, 59, targeted the youngster after striking up a friendship with his victim's family. He took the boy swimming and bowling in a bid to gain their trust, but then went on to repeatedly give the victim alcohol before touching him inappropriately in the early 1990s.
McGuiness, also known as Peter McGinniss, denied any wrongdoing but was convicted of indecent assault and breach of the peace following a trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court on 1 May. Returning for sentencing on Friday, he was jailed for three years and placed on the sex offenders' register indefinitely.
