A FORMER butler-in-the-buff who attacked his lover after a friend asked to feel her breast implants has been spared jail.
Raging John Watt, 33, “went crazy” and blamed Amanda Reilly for his pal wanting to grope her.
He claimed she encouraged the behaviour, then kicked a pair of shoes against her leg and shoved her "full force".
The assault came during a five-year campaign of violence and abuse against Miss Reilly, 37 and ex-partner Laura Shearer, 32.
This included holding a terrified Miss Shearer by the neck after snooping in her phone, and throwing water over as she lay in bed her after a night out.
And, grabbing Miss Reilly by the neck and hair and dragging her from a house, he then hurled her down a set of stairs.
Watt, from Thornliebank, denied the charges when he went on trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
But a jury convicted the dad-of-two of assaulting Miss Shearer on various occasions between September 2010 and February 2015 during their decade-long relationship.
He was found guilty of assaulting Miss Reilly on various occasions between August 2015 and January 2016 after they got together.
Watt was also found guilty of charges of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner towards both women.
Watt - who now lives in Edinburgh - will be supervised for two years and will carry out 300 hours of unpaid work which is the maximum hours.
There was a three-year non-harassment order granted to prevent him contacting either of his victims.
