A sexual predator has been found guilty of raping a teenage girl after luring her off the street and plying her with alcohol.
Glenn Ian Morrison sexually abused a 13-year-old girl from Sydney’s northern beaches in a boarding house in Rosebury last year.
The 52-year-old busker met the teenager at Manly Wharf on August 19 and bought her alcoholic drinks.
The guitarist, known as ‘Barnesy’ but has no links to the famous Australian, then took the minor to the boarding house more than 20km away on public transport where he repeatedly sexually assaulted her.

NSW Detective Superintendent John Kerlatec told reporters after Morrison’s arrest in August 2019 the incident was ‘every parents’ worse nightmare’.
At one point during their 45-minute journey to the boarding house, Morrison was quizzed by a passenger about how he knew the girl.
‘During these movements the man told a member of the public the girl was his daughter,’ Det Supt Kerlatec said.

The youth fled from the boarding house the following morning and notified police when she arrived home, with Morrison arrested three days later.
Photos from Morrison’s social media show he previously posed arm-in-arm with a group of young women during his busking performances around Sydney.
A Downing Centre District Court jury found Morrison guilty of two counts of aggravated sexual intercourse of a child aged under 16 and three counts of sexually touching a person aged 10 to 16.
He will remain in custody until his sentencing in October.
