Businessman, 65, tried to rape 'incapacitated' vulnerable girl

A businessman has been jailed after he attempted to rape a vulnerable girl who was "severely incapacitated" by alcohol.

Prosecutor Elen Owen said that James McGeown, 65, had been convicted of attempted rape and two counts of indecent assault by a majority verdict following a trial.
