A Dundee creep is back behind bars after admitting a sexual assault and flashing at a teenager.
Jason O’Neil is remanded at HMP Perth and will be sentenced next month after admitting charges at Dundee Sheriff Court.
The 28-year-old appeared by video link to admit sexually assaulting a woman at a flat in Aboyne Avenue in Dundee on February 18 this year.
O’Neil, formerly of Coupar Angus, grabbed her by her hair, bent her over a kitchen worktop and rubbed his private parts against her, simulating sex.
At the same flat on the same date, he exposed himself to a teenager.
O’Neil proceeded to act in a threatening manner later that night and into the following morning.
He repeatedly shouted and swore and made sexual and derogatory remarks, before spitting within a police vehicle, banging his head on the window and lashing out with his legs.
Sentencing was deferred until December 6.
Last year, O’Neil appeared in court after sharing footage a woman performing a sex act on him on social media without her consent.

Death in custody
A woman remanded after a court date in Fife has died in custody.
Sharlene Watson was locked up after a hearing in Kirkcaldy earlier this month.

“She had been remanded into our care from Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court, on 10 November.

Taxi spitter
A drunken lout jumped a taxi queue in Dundee and then spat in the face of the woman at the front.
Ben Duke appeared at Dundee Sheriff Court to admit assault.
Fiscal depute Lynne Mannion explained the 29-year-old had arrived at the Nethergate rank at around 12.45am on July 24 last year.
Self-employed Duke, of King Street in Broughty Ferry, skipped the queue while he was “extremely drunk.”
He spat directly in the face of his victim and was challenged by another male there, before police attended.
Duke’s lawyer said he runs a social media and video-editing business and had not offended since 2015.
Sheriff Paul Brown deferred sentencing until January 11 and ordered reports.
