Exclusive SEX ASSAULT: Accused teen referred to Scottish Children’s Reporter after their arrest by Kilwinning police A BOY charged with rape now faces a children’s hearing after a girl suffered a serious sexual assault in Kilwinning. The 14-year-old was arrested in connection with an attack on a girl aged 13 reported near Kilwinning railway station earlier in the year [January 28]. Police confirmed last week that the child – who cannot be identified for legal reasons due to his age – was later released by officers on an undertaking to face the charge in Kilmarnock Sheriff Court at a later date. However, the Crown Office has since told the Times that prosecutors have now passed the accused’s case to the Scottish Children’s Reporter for a potential panel hearing or social work supervision.

© DCT Media Aberdeen Sheriff Court An Aberdeen solicitor has welcomed steps to reduce trials during the pandemic but fears backlogs will increase due to the delays. Sheriff and jury trials at Aberdeen Sheriff Court were due to resume this month with officials trying to set up remote jury centres to allow hearings to take place. But now the majority of summary trials due to be heard in courts will be adjourned which will reduce the overall number of criminal trials taking place during lockdown by up to 75%. The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) said all its courts will remain open but it is taking immediate steps to reduce the number of people attending from today.
