Fife man to stand trial accused of string of sex attacks
A MAN is to stand trial charged with repeated sex attacks on a woman while she was asleep.
Andrew Ferguson today (16th Nov) faced the allegations at the High Court in Glasgow.
Ferguson, of Cairneyhill, Fife, is accused of 16 separate charges involving a total of four different women.
The 34 year-old is said to have raped and indecently assaulted one of them between 2007 and 2014.
Prosecutors allege this took place while she was "asleep and incapable of giving or withholding consent".
The accusations also include claims Ferguson raped two of the other women and carried out a sex attack on the fourth.
The 16 charges span between 2000 and 2014. They are said to happened in Dundee, Alloa, Clacks and different locations in Fife.
Brian McConnachie QC, defending, today/yesterday entered not guilty pleas on Ferguson's behalf.
Judge Lord Turnbull set a trial due to start next May in Edinburgh.
