| Description | Alex Salmond, the former first minister of Scotland, has been charged with multiple counts of sexual assault and two of attempted rape.
Salmond, who appeared at Edinburgh sheriff court for a private hearing on Thursday afternoon, was charged with 14 offences: nine charges of sexual assault, two of attempted rape, two of indecent assault and one of breach of the peace.
The 64-year-old, who lives in Aberdeenshire, entered no plea during the short hearing and was released on bail. Appearing outside court afterwards, he told reporters he was not guilty of any of wrongdoing.
“Let me say from the outset, I am innocent of any criminality whatsoever,” he said in a brief statement as he stood flanked by a lawyer and press adviser. |
