Criminal accused of sexual assault against a 15-year-old female in Edinburgh's district court.
A 20-year-old, Aaron Strachan, found himself in Edinburgh Sheriff Court, accused of a despicable act. He's facing charges for the rape of a 15-year-old girl, as well as for assault to severe injury and attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
The unfortunate incident unfolded in a basement storage area on York Place. The victim was initially approached at a bus stop on Princes Street at around 5am on Sunday, 25th May. Strachan, who hails from no fixed abode, was remanded in custody, with his next court appearance scheduled within the week.
In recent times, Edinburgh has seen its fair share of similar cases, though the specifics of this incident do not perfectly match with any specific case in the local search results. However, here's a brief rundown of a few pertinent cases in Scotland:
- Cameron Huggins: A 22-year-old from Muir of Ord was convicted of raping a teenage girl in Inverness, not Edinburgh. This heinous act occurred while the victim was incapacitated by excessive alcohol consumption. Despite his denial of any wrongdoing, Huggins was found guilty by jurors at the High Court in Edinburgh.
