A man has been found guilty of attempting to rape a Scottish woman on an Easyjet flight.
Nicola Cristiano, 45, from Italy, moved seats to sit beside the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, during the night-time journey from Naples to Edinburgh on 13 May.
After offering the woman, who the court heard was born in 1993 and is from Aberdeenshire, wine, he attempted to force her hand and head towards his exposed crotch.
Judge Alison Stirling remanded Cristiano in custody and asked for background reports to be prepared ahead of sentencing at the High Court in Edinburgh on 6 February.
Earlier The High Court in Edinburgh heard evidence from a fellow passenger and a member of the cabin crew.
Forensic evidence also showed there was a trace of Cristiano’s semen on the victim’s cheek.
He had claimed the woman initially consented but then changed her mind.
However, the jury found him guilty by non-unanimous verdict.
