Scott Thoms admitted the offence at Perth Sheriff Court.
A lodger who sexually assaulted his sleeping landlady has been banned from going out at night for the next 15 weeks.
Scott Thoms was put on a 7pm to 6am curfew and placed on the sex offenders register, to be supervised for nine months.
Perth Sheriff Court heard how the 45-year-old victim awoke in the night to find Thoms groping her thighs and private parts.
She struggled initially to work out who it was in the dark, but Thoms said “it’s Scott” before apologising for what he was doing.

Shirley Kane was jailed for 34 months.
A homeless woman has been jailed after being captured on a video doorbell starting a series of blazes which forced people to flee for their lives.
Shirley Kane, formerly of Lochee, was locked up for 34 months after she endangered lives by setting fires at two buildings on the same day.
Perth Sheriff Court was told one resident was trapped in her top-floor flat and had to be given oxygen as she waited to be rescued by firefighters.
The woman – who had to break off her university class on Zoom – was given breathing help as she hung out of the window after firefighters extended a ladder up to the top-floor window at North Methven Street in Perth.
