A MAN has been arrested and charged in connection with the rape of a 16-year-old girl in a car park.
The attack was reported to have happened between 1am and 1.30am on Sunday November 10 in the Cowgate area of Dundee.
The teenager was approached by a man in the Cowgate area of the city between 1am and 1.30am, before being subjected to what police have described as a “serious sexual assault”.
A 31-year-old man is due to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Monday.
Detective sergeant Shaunni Morris said: “We would like to extend our thanks to the public for their assistance with this inquiry.
“Officers will remain in the area while inquiries continue.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
