Maryhill Man Appears In Court Charged With Sexual Assault Of Teenage Man

Published 12th Oct 2015

A Maryhill man has appeared in court charged with sexually assaulting a teenager.

David Love, 46, is alleged to have indecently assaulted an 18-year-old man in Maryhill.

Papers from Glasgow Sheriff Court claim that on October 5, at a property in the area, Love carried out a sex act on the male.

He also faces two charges of being within the area of a property in Maryhill on September 25 and October 5, without "lawful authority" so that it may be "reasonably inferred" that he intended to commit theft.

Love, from the same area, appeared in private at the city's sheriff court where he was represented by solicitor advocate Richard Lobjoie.

He made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody by sheriff Alayne Swanson.

Love will appear again for a full committal hearing next week.

A Scottish Government spokesman said: We acknowledge the Public Audit Committee's report into the governance failings at North Glasgow College. As ministers have already made clear, we expect that high standards are met when decisions are taken involving public money.

As the report highlights, these events took place prior to stronger financial controls coming into effect across the sector. Today, colleges are required to comply with processes set out in the Scottish Public Finance Manual and must seek approval of settlement and severance arrangements from the Scottish Funding Council.

We will, in partnership with the Scottish Funding Council, consider carefully the findings of this report.''
