A MAN has been charged with sexually assaulting a 76-year-old pensioner in Greenock.

Quintin De Bruyn, 38, repeatedly kissed the OAP on the mouth and neck, it is alleged.

Prosecutors claim that De Bruyn also placed his hands on the woman’s shoulders, held her hand, repeatedly stroked her thigh and cuddled her.

The Crown says that he targeted the elderly woman at an address in Greenock on July 11.

De Bruyn, whose address was not given in court, has pleaded not guilty to the charge through lawyer Gerry Keenan.

The matter set to call again on December 19, ahead of a trial scheduled for January 30 next year.
