A River City actor has been accused of rape and a range of offences against four different women.

Iain Robertson - who played Stevie O'Hara in the BBC Scotland soap - faces a total of eight charges.

They span between 2004 and 2020 and include an allegation of rape involving one of the women on "various occasions" in 2018 and 2019.

Robertson, 44, who is also accused of abusive behaviour and assault against a number of women, denies all the charges against him.

These include accusations that he was "controlling" and did "psychologically manipulate" a woman.

The alleged offences are said to have occurred in Glasgow's southside and in Aberdeenshire.

Lord Arthurson fixed a trial which is scheduled to begin in June 2026 at the High Court in Glasgow.
