At Stirling Sheriff Court today, Ross, of Towers Court, Falkirk, pleaded not guilty to four charges of sexual assault.

Defence solicitor Ken Dalling said he was hoping to get a report from a forensic psychologist into Ross’s state of mind.

Sheriff Wyllie Robertson continued the case for trial on December 13th. He also ordered Ross, who is on bail, to appear at a preliminary hearing on December 4.
