The 27-year-old had come to the UK from his native Qatar to receive treatment for a rare heart condition.
Al-Gherainiq, who admitted sexual assault and causing a person to engage in sexual activity without their consent, was also convicted of two counts of attempted rape.
He has now been jailed for seven years and will be deported once he is released.
His defence lawyer Jane Bickerstaff KC told Southwark Crown Court the fiend would not have had much contact with women outside his family.
She said: "Until July 2023 he had never left Qatar. He would have had minimal experience engaging with women outside a family context.
"The only woman he would have had any meaningful contact with is his mother."
Ms Bickerstaff said his time spent in the Qatar desert had "curtailed his exposure to urban and modern societal norms",
She continued: "This defendant would have had no experience whatsoever of interacting with a woman.
"We submit that he was equivalent to an immature and inexperienced adolescent.
"He completely failed to understand her true feelings."
The court was told Al-Gherainiq told the victim he needed to go to the toilet then pulled her inside the cubicle in the August 2023 horror.
In a victim impact statement, she told how felt "so scared" and "frozen with fear".
She added: "I couldn't go anywhere. Although the incident lasted a few minutes it felt like ages to me. I was very shocked to hear it was only five minutes.
"A few days after the incident I had huge anxiety and fear. I could not leave the house.
"My life has never been the same. My family still do not know what happened to me. I am so close to my family.
"It has been a lonely and isolated year for me. I am not the outgoing woman I used to be. I am withdrawn and highly anxious and overly cautious, especially when I'm on my own in an unfamiliar environment."
Judge Adam Hiddleston told Al-Gherainiq, who listened to the sentence through an Arabic interpreter, rejected his plea to impose a lower jail term due to his background.
The judge said: "I appreciate the cultural differences between the world in which you grew up and in the United Kingdom.
"You knew perfectly well what you were doing was against her wishes."

Video released by West Yorkshire Police shows the moment police attempt to safely capture two loose dogs discovered at the address.

He is set to appear at Leeds Magistrates Court on 8 July. In a statement, West Yorkshire police said: 'Police were called at 2:20pm on Saturday to a report that a child had been bitten by a dog at an address in Middle Oxford Street. "The child was taken to hospital with puncture wounds to both arms. 'There were two dogs at the property and a number of measures were taken, including sedation, in attempts to safely secure them.

Sophie Lindsay, 41, told how the beast charged at her with its head down, causing injuries the same as being hit by a car at 40mph. Her right leg was shattered in several places and had to be screwed back together with metal plates, nuts and bolts.

Female party boat organiser plunges into sea as mass Brit tourist brawl erupts after rowdy thugs are booted off vessel
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the dramatic moment a boat party organiser ends up in the sea during a mass brawl in Ibiza. The wild scene, filmed by a shocked bystander, is said to have forced the party boat to cancel its scheduled trip. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Two men break into a fight on the dock near where the party boat is moored Credit: Solarpix 5 One man takes a plunge after being punched and pushed by another man Credit: Solarpix 5 The man then jumps into another fight - and a woman ends up in the water Credit: Solarpix Shocking footage from the Ibizan party resort of San Antonio showed an unidentified man pushing and punching another into the water before getting involved in another fight further along the dock. A woman, described locally as the party organiser, also unexpectedly ended up in the water. A witness posted the video on TikTok, with the title: 'English people in Ibiza' before adding, 'English people are so problematic'. When asked by other users how she knew their nationality, the witness replied: 'Because I was there.' A Brit in the comments added: 'English people are very educated, we are not all the same,' which the witness acknowledged was true. On Sunday, another explosive fight broke out in the same resort at the popular Marco Polo hotel. In the shocking footage, a man can be seen throwing a flying chair onto a woman's head as she's in the pool. A group of lifeguards and security attempt to intervene, but their efforts amount to nothing as the man is seen ignoring them. In May, an easyJet passenger was left petrified after a group of rowdy "drunk" Brits turned her Ibiza flight into a "nightclub". Spaniard Erika Barrachina claimed she suffered a "panic attack" after having to cope with "scum" passengers. Shocking moment chair-tossing pool brawl erupts at Ibiza hotel with tourist bashed in head and knocked into water In a no-holds-barred message alongside a video of the packed plane where passengers could be seen banging on luggage compartments above them and yelling: "Come on Ibiza", the Spanish speaker said: 'My flight from London to Ibiza was absolutely horrible. 'I was scared. A plane full of real English animals. 'Everyone standing, screaming, guys hitting each other, drinking bottles of alcohol one after the other and stopping the flight attendants from doing their job. Real hell. 'This video is the just the end because I couldn't film what happened during the journey. 'Before boarding the plane they were drunk and high. Taking pills and drinking alcohol at the same time, which I saw with my own eyes." She added: 'We don't want this type of tourism in Ibiza, they should stay at home." It comes as locals in Ibiza took part in an anti-tourist demonstration just over a week ago. 8,000 people took to the streets in the Majorcan capital Palma. Around 100 people with drums surrounded upmarket eatery Cappuccino Borne next to a McDonald's in the centre of Palma after their protest finished. Police moved in to ease tension as the demonstrators held up cardboard posters reading: 'As You Come I Have To Go.' The protestors also chanted 'The Streets Will Always Be Ours', Go Home' in English and 'No Balconing' in reference to the young tourists who have dangerously jumped from hotel balconies into swimming pools or tried to climb between balconies under the influence of alcohol and drugs. 5 Protesters shout anti-tourism slogans at tourists at a bar in Palma Credit: REUTERS/Francisco Ubilla

‘Hitman' accused of murdering Lyons kingpins has drug driving charge dropped
A court service spokeswoman confirmed a 'notice to withdraw' the charges was lodged and rubber-stamped last week IN THE CLEAR 'Hitman' accused of murdering Lyons kingpins has drug driving charge dropped Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PROSECUTORS dropped drug driving and speeding charges against the alleged hitman accused of murdering two Scots gangsters. Law chiefs ditched proceedings against Michael Riley, 44, after he was nicked and made the subject of an extradition bid by Spanish authorities. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Murdered Lyons gnag duo Eddie Lyons Jnr, left, and Ross Monaghan 3 The moment a gunman stormed the pub in Fuengirola was caught on CCTV 3 The bar in Spain where the Scots gangland figures were shot dead on May 31 Riley, of Huyton, Liverpool, was due to appear at North Wales Magistrates Court tomorrow in connection with the alleged driving offences. But the Crown Prosecution Service (SPS) decided to discontinue the case on Tuesday, June 17, four days after Riley was arrested in Liverpool. A court service spokeswoman confirmed a 'notice to withdraw' the charges was lodged and rubber-stamped last week. We told how Riley plans to fight extradition over the murders of Ross Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, in Fuengirola on May 31. Read More Scottish News SECRET'S OUT Opening date revealed for major high street fashion brand's latest Scots store Cops in Spain issued an international arrest warrant for the suspect who was then nabbed by Merseyside police on June 13 and remanded in custody after being deemed a flight risk. He appeared at the London court via videolink from HMP Wandsworth on Thursday but the hearing was halted due to technical difficulties. Judge John Bristow told him: 'You have not consented to your extradition, so there is going to be a hearing on October 9. As he was being led away, Riley shouted at someone in the public gallery: 'Stop making funny faces. Stop looking at me.' He is accused of gunning down two Lyons gang bosses. We told how the doomed pair were drinking in Monaghans bar after watching the Champions League final when a masked gunman stormed the boozer in front of horrified holidaymakers and staff. 'Hitman' accused of murdering gang kingpins Ross Monaghan & Eddie Lyons Junior in Spain will fight extradition The brazen killings sparked an international manhunt that ended with Riley's arrest at an address in Liverpool two weeks later. We also told how cops in Spain and Scotland have given conflicting information about who is believed to have ordered the hit. Three days after the horror, Police Scotland stated they had "no intelligence" to suggest they were linked to the ongoing gangland turf war here. But Spanish counterparts blamed the Daniel crime clan bitter rivals of the Lyons at a press conference in Malaga this week. A source claims a captured mobile phone holds the key to proving the culprits. Insiders allege it has data linking Riley to Daniel hoods. A gangland source said: "A phone in a crime like this is gold-dust to investigators. It appears that Police Scotland were not made aware of this discovery and are out the loop. It's not a good look for them."
