A man who took pictures of a sleeping woman has been sentenced.
Alain Fleming, 35, sexually assaulted the victim at a property in Glasgow's Maryhill on various occasions between January 2013 and December 2019.
Court papers state Fleming recorded the woman doing a private act.

It is said he did this to enable himself or another to look at the image of the woman.
Fleming carried out the crime by moving the woman's clothing and bed clothing and took pictures of her sleeping.
Fleming was found guilty by a jury of a single charge of sexual assault.
He was ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid work and put on the sex offenders register for five years by Judge Lord Young.
He said: "You took four pictures of the woman while she slept without consent.
"You appreciate that this was a gross breach of trust.
"While this is a squalid crime, I accept you did not distribute these pictures to others and there were only four images.
"You have no previous convictions, a stable family life and care for your disabled father and present as low risk to the public going forward."

Rhonda Anderson, defending, earlier told the court that Fleming "acknowledges it was a serious offence."
Miss Anderson added: "He is a man who does regret his involvement in this matter and is ashamed by it.
"He acknowledges he has brought shame on his family."
