Clive McMahon groped schoolgirl at bus stop after buying her alcohol A barber who groped a 14-year-old girl after buying her alcohol has blamed her parents for giving her too much pocket money. Clive McMahon, 53, indecently assaulted the schoolgirl while she was waiting for a bus. He told social workers he regularly bought drink for under age children and said it was their parents" fault. Sheriff Lindsay Foulis said: "He said blame should be apportioned to the parents of the victim for giving them so much pocket money that it allowed them to buy alcohol. He met with the young women when they approached him to buy alcohol. He admitted he bought teenagers alcohol on a number of occasions before meeting them that day. He had been buying alcohol for a number of young people in the Scone area. That concerns me. He minimises his actions, stating he had only given his victim a cuddle. The sheriff told McMahon: "You are blaming everyone else for your criminal behaviour as opposed to taking responsibility for it yourself and it is with yourself that responsibility lies." At Perth Sheriff Court on Wednesday, McMahon was ordered to carry out 125 hours community service, placed on the sex offenders register and issued with a conduct requirement banning him from providing alcohol to anyone under 18. McMahon admitted groping the schoolgirl as she waited for a bus with her friends. Perth Sheriff Court was told the girl and her friends were shocked when McMahon carried out the attack. Fiscal depute Jim Eodonable told the court: "The complainer and her friends were at the bus stop with the accused. They could be described as casual acquaintances as the complainer knows his daughter. They had bumped into each other and walked to the bus stop. She formed the opinion that he was drunk. He said goodbye and leaned in to give her a hug with both of his arms over her shoulders. The complainer wasn't comfortable with this but didn't do anything to shrug the hug off. He then stopped the embrace. As he was moving away one of his hands took hold of one of her breasts. It was for a sufficiently long time that two of her friends saw what happened. They were shocked. McMahon, from Scone, admitted sexually assaulting the girl, who cannot be named, in South Street, Perth, on 1 February this year.
