Asylum Seeker Convicted, Sentencing Delayed | Glasgow News

A convicted asylum seeker, Muhammad Sheikhi, was found guilty of sexually assaulting two young women in Falkirk in November — but his sentencing is now delayed until August after a critical social work report was missing. The attacks, which occurred in the early morning near his hotel, involved inappropriate touching and forced contact in public areas. Despite denying the charges and claiming he was just “wandering,” a jury convicted him after three hours of deliberation. The prosecutor called his behavior predatory, and while the verdict was delivered in May, the court must wait for the report before determining his punishment — leaving Sheikhi in custody until August.
