A CONVICTED sex predator raped a woman – and then got caught with his trousers on the wrong way.

Ranna Singh pounced on his terrified victim at his flat in Govan in April last year.

Singh was back on the streets a decade after he and an accomplice raped a woman at knifepoint in a country lane.

The 37-year-old had lured this latest victim stating it was “safer” at his home rather than risk taking “a fake taxi”.

Jurors heard he denied any sex - but police found him with his trousers on back to front when they turned up.

Singh now faces a possible life sentence after again being convicted of rape at the High Court in Glasgow.

Singh and friend Mohammed Yousaff had each previously been jailed for six years for the previous sex attack.

Singh had been with the woman at a nightclub in the city's Merchant City.

They left in the early hours and got a taxi back to the flat he shared with his brother.

Prosecutors stated it was there Singh violently raped the woman – but he denied any “sexual contact” occurred.

Singh claimed his brother had instead apparently reported the woman to police for criminal damage.

He suggested that was why she had then made the rape accusation.

Jurors heard when officers arrived they spotted something noticeable about Singh's trousers.

Prosecutor Allan Nicol put to him: “How did they get on the wrong way round?”

Singh: “They were not.”

The court was told Singh was already the subject of an interim sexual offences prevention order at the time.

Singh's previous attack saw a woman raped in a lane in Howwood, Renfrewshire.
