Glasgow pick-up artist sentencing delayed

Published 16th Oct 2019

A sheriff has asked for more information before sentencing a Glasgow pick up artist to determine if his activities were sexually motivated.

Adnan Ahmed, 38, was convicted last month of five charges of threatening and abusive behaviour in Glasgow city centre.

The female victims were aged between 16 and 21.

Sheriff Lindsay Wood remanded Ahmed until next Tuesday to determine whether Ahmed should be put on the sex offenders’ register for his conviction.

A new case has came to light which needs to be taken into consideration by both parties which applies to Ahmed.

He said: “I invite parties to make submissions on the question of whether there was a significant sexual element to the five offences on which Mr Ahmed was convicted."

A hearing has been set for next Tuesday at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

Both parties have to submit written submissions before that date.

Ahmed has been remanded since January this year which is the equivalent of an 18 month sentence.

His lawyer Donna Armstrong asked for bail but this was refused.

Ahmed posted his controversial encounters on YouTube under the name 'Addy A-Game'
