Sleazy: Shane Lawton made inappropriate comments while 'measuring' the girls
A former Queen's Guard launched sex attacks on two girl band members after being hired to help get them in shape.
Shane Lawton branded the singers "sex objects" and humiliated then while claiming to be taking their measurements.
The sleazy 37-year-old had been hired as a personal trainer to help the young musicians get in shape.
Lawton also groped a shocked mum-of-two as he gave her a massage at his gym.
He was ordered to take part in a two-year community payback order including sex offender programmes and 150 hours unpaid work after being found guilty of three sexual assaults at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
The Scottish Daily Record reports two of the incidents took place at the studio In Glasgow where Lawton was based in the city's Jamaica Street between March and June 2013.
One recalled after first going to see him that she was asked to take off her bra for the "measurements process".
The 24 year-old told the trial: "He did ask me to roll up my top to almost my whole chest being out - I did feel awkward. I didn't know what to say. I thought that was normal for measurements or just to see my body from a fitness purpose."

Lawton also rolled down the woman's leggings to her hips adding to her feeling "uncomfortable".
She went back two days later and Lawton again claimed he had to measure her.
The woman recalled: "I felt too much of me was on show. He would make comments about how my body could look. He also commented on how large my chest was."
Her bandmate - also aged 24 - later told the trial when she was sent to Lawton, he demanded she "strip down" to her bra and shorts.
Lawton claimed this was to size up and "see what needed to be worked on". He went on to roll down her shorts exposing part of her bottom.
Describing herself as "very petite", the victim added: "You can see my frame perfectly well without moving any part of my clothing".
The woman remembered being "embarrassed" by the experience.
The final victim had gone to Lawton for personal training sessions after meeting him at a fitness class.
Lawton, of Uddingston, South Lanarkshire, later told the 45 year-old that he was "good at giving massages".
Accepting the offer at his gym, the woman remembered covering her body with a towel.
But, recalling Lawton's wandering hands, she told the trial: "I was then conscious that my breasts were touched.
"I remember freezing and saying 'did that just happen?'. I said: 'what's that meant to be massaging?'
"It wasn't acknowledged, the chat just kept going."
Police were eventually alerted which led to Lawton being held. He insisted during the trial all the victims consented to what happened.
He claimed he had to take the measurements of the girl band members from their shoulders to their thighs. This was to work out a "successful" fitness programme.
The pervert said: "Their job is to go on stage and gyrate about. They are sex objects jumping around.
Lawton said the other woman had agreed to a massage days before the meeting.
Asked did he expect "something further to happen", Lawton claimed: "Yes, probably adult fun.
The court was told Lawton no longer works as a personal trainer.
Lawton was also placed on the sex offenders list as a result of the conviction.
