A man and woman will stand trial accused of assaulting two girls in Dundee. Prosecutors allege Ilia Belov, 22, approached and followed four girls, who were aged between 12 and 14, and made sexual remarks to them before seizing one of the girls and pushing her to the ground. His co-accused Nadjedzha Belova, 20, is accused of repeatedly seizing and pulling another of the girls by the hair, dragging her to the ground, and punching her on the head to her injury. Both accused denied the charges during a brief appearance at Dundee Sheriff Court and a trial date was set for 15 April by Sheriff Gregor Murray. The court was told that four civilian witnesses and four police witnesses were likely to be called to give evidence. The offences are alleged to have taken place in St Ann Lane, Lochee, last August. A 12-year-old girl has also been referred to the children's reporter in connection with an alleged incident. Copyright 2026 BBC. All rights reserved.
