Student tells court she felt uncomfortable after being approached by a man in a Glasgow street

A student has told jurors how she was asked for a drink by a man called "Addy A-Game" - who claimed she looked like Kim Kardashian. The 20 year-old woman said she was contacted on Instagram after being approached by him the day before.

She initially thought what happened was a joke for a TV show.

The woman was giving evidence at the trial of Adnan Ahmed (37) at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

He denies 18 charges including behaving in a threatening and abusive manner as well as sexual assault.

The offences alleged to have occurred in Glasgow city centre and Uddingston between May 2016 and January this year.

The trial heard the woman was approached in the city's Royal Exchange Square last November.

She told jurors: “He gave me a compliment and said that I looked like Kim Kardashian.

"I said: "Whatever - is this a joke?'.

“As I watch (TV show) Impractical Jokers, I thought: 'where is the cameras'.

“I thought it was a prank.”

The man said he was called Addy. He managed to get her name from her phone case.

The woman told jurors that she felt “uncomfortable” and “intimidated” by the man.

He asked her to go for a glass of wine - but she pretended to have a boyfriend.

The woman was then followed on Instagram with the name "Addy A-Game".

He sent a message stating: "Hey Kim Kardashian - fun meeting you earlier."

When the woman did not reply, the man then said: "No joke - when you free to get a drink this week."

The student stated she did not know him.

But, he replied: "Get to know me."

The man went on to claim the young woman was "racist" before she blocked him.

She told jurors: "I think he thought it was a challenge to go out with me."

Another student later told how a man called Addy followed her from a sandwich shop and made "inappropriate comments" in 2017.

He earlier claimed she had "Italian cheekbones" and "sexy" legs.

The woman went on: "I said: 'What do you want?'. I just tried to get away from him. He was following me.

“I thought about saying something to someone but I was really scared and didn’t know what to do.”

The woman managed to escape to a nearby train station and sobbed before going home.

Another 24 year-old woman said "Addy" squeezed her thigh after being approached.

She gave him her number as it was "the fastest way to end the conversation".

He sent her a text asking for sex on New Year's Day, but she refused.

The man then replied: "It is okay, got someone. Happy New Year."

A 20 year-old woman later claimed she was confronted in Glasgow city centre and knocked back his bid to add him as a friend on Facebook

The trial continues before Sheriff Lindsay Wood.
