A porter has been cleared of groping two elderly women at a Glasgow hospital.
Robert Murphy, 64, was alleged to have attacked the 89 and 79-year-old women in Glasgow's Gartnavel Hospital.
It was claimed he abused the 89-year-old alone in a corridor where he groped her breast. The woman - who has since passed away - told a police in a statement that she slapped Murphy's hand away during the alleged attack in spring 2019.

Murphy was said to have been swotted away as he allegedly tried to push open the second woman's leg.
However, a jury acquitted Murray, of Knightswood of three sexual assault charges following a trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
He was found not guilty for the alleged attack against the 89-year-old and not proven on the charges against the 79-year-old.
After his acquittal, Sheriff Barry Divers told Murphy: "Accordingly, you can leave the dock."
