Three women approached by “predatory” pick-up artist Adnan Ahmed have opened up on their experiences after his conviction.

Father-of-one Ahmed, 38, posted videos of himself as ‘Addy A-Game’ when approaching women on Youtube without their consent in an attempt ‘educate’ men on how to ‘pick-up’ women.

He was found guilty on Wednesday for acting in a threatening and abusive manner causing a reasonable person fear or alarm towards five "young and vulnerable" women between May 2014 and November 2018.

Nas Moya, 24 from the south side, said she was approached in University Avenue in 2016.

She told the Evening Times: “I’m really pleased about the outcome of the trial, it shows that we’re taking a step in the right direction as a society in recognising this type of behaviour is absolutely not okay.

“The way he interacted with me made me feel really vulnerable and unsafe. I didn’t think I would be taken seriously if I came forward but now I feel differently.”

The court heard Ahmed approached two schoolgirls in a secluded lane in Uddingston in 2016, who were aged 16 and 17 at the time.

It is believed there are potentially more victims who were approached by Ahmed who did not testify, among them Nas.

“I was just walking on my own and I saw him and his friend walking towards me,” she said.

“He started asking about my ethic background... then he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him and was holding my hand to his chest almost pleading for me to go for a drink with him.

“I felt like I couldn’t say no when he asked for my number and he called it there and then to make sure it was the right number.

“Later when he texted me I admitted I was actually seeing someone and didn’t want to go for a drink with him. Immediately he started going on about how his mum had warned him about mixed race girls and I blocked him on WhatsApp.

“He didn’t try to contact me again for a while until I got a random text at about 3am one morning that just said ‘s**g?’

A 25-year-old female from Largs, who wishes to remain anonymous, said she was approached on Sauchiehall Street in December 2016.

“It was busy with Christmas shoppers but it was dark, and I was by myself. He came up to me and asked if I was mixed race because I ‘didn’t look Scottish’

"He asked if I was a dancer because ‘I had the figure’.

“He was asking for my number so I just gave it to him to get rid of him and he texted me while I was there to ‘make sure it wasn’t fake’. He went to shake my hand but then took my hand and kissed it - which was creepy.

“After he was gone I remember being paranoid that he had followed me. In the weeks after I received multiple texts from him. I blocked the number on Whatsapp and then started getting SMS texts - one of them just said ‘S**g?'

"Preying on young girls when they’re on their own is just plain wrong.”

A third woman, named only as 24-year-old Ella from Glasgow, was on Argyle Street with a friend in May 2017 when he approached them, bombarding them with questions - again about their ethnicity.

She said: "He asked us where we were going and about our jobs, relationship status' and such. I was being very short with him but my friend was conversing with him a bit and gave him her number.

"At the time he seemed to just be more of a chancer than anything sinister.

"A while later he did WhatsApp my friend some strange messages...like 'hey babe what times our date tonight? Picking you up at 7?'.

"This indicated to my friend he was definitely creepy and she blocked his number after that".

Sandy Brindley from Rape Crisis Scotland told The Evening Times: “This is a really significant case and sends an important message that this kind of predatory behaviour isn’t just unacceptable and entirely inappropriate, but illegal too.

“The treatment of women as play pieces in part of a bigger game profiting from their humiliation and degradation is truly repulsive, and it is right that the man responsible faces consequences”.

Ahmed was remanded in custody awaiting sentence next month.
