A convicted predator preyed on two teenage girls after flouting a strict sex offender order.

Jordan Hamilton repeatedly raped a 14-year-old and molested a 15-year-old during attacks in 2024.

The 31-year-old, who was head of housekeeping at the Cityroomz Hotel in Edinburgh at the time, had previously been jailed for crimes against girls of a similar age.

Hamilton was locked up for eight months in 2016 for the sexual assault of a 15-year-old 2016.

He was then sentenced to two years in 2022 for having sex with an underage girl.

Hamilton was also made subject to a Sex Offender Notification Requirement (SONR) which was to last until 2032.

This included notifying police if he stayed elsewhere other than his registered addresses in Dunfermline, Fife.

But, these latest crimes occurred while Hamilton had secretly been living in Falkirk, Stirlingshire.

He first struck at a house in the town on March 30, 2024.

The 15-year-old victim was in a room with other girls when the predator came in and put his arm around her.

The High Court in Glasgow heard Hamilton went on to start groping the youngster leaving her feeling “disgusted”.

She confided in a friend days later what had happened.

The rape victim had initially been in Hamilton’s company in Stirling before going to a property in Falkirk with her on April 14, 2024.

He raped her in a bedroom.

Prosecutor Shanti Maguire told the court: “He seized her by the hair, pulling it and causing her pain.”

The victim later texted a friend, who turned up to find her “upset and nervous”.

The girl told her that Hamilton had raped her.

The court heard similar attacks occurred another six or seven times up until mid-May 2024.

It was days after the final incident that the teenager told her own mother that Hamilton “sleeps with weans”.

Hamilton’s mum was also alerted before police were contacted.

The sex attacker was later arrested outside a pub in Falkirk.

Hamilton admitted to the crimes having initially been set to stand trial.

Judge Matthew Jackson KC continued his remand in custody as sentencing was deferred for reports until April 16 in Edinburgh.
