A well-known children’s charity campaigner in Dundee has appeared at the city’s Sheriff Court charged with stalking.
Charles, known as Charlie, Kean, 54, of Ancrum Gardens denied one charge against him.
Kean denies that between July 10 and 12, at various locations within the Dundee area he engaged in a course of conduct which caused his former partner Deborah Bruce fear and alarm.
He allegedly committed the offence by contacting Ms Bruce by telephone, voice mail, text, and Facebook messages on an excessive number of occasions and made repeated and an excessive number of attempts to contact her by sending texts and other messages to her friend Catherine Anderson.
Kean will stand trial on September 26 with an intermediate diet to be held on September 6 for which his attendance has been excused to allow him to carry out his charity work.
He was released on bail under standard conditions with added special conditions not to approach or contact Deborah Bruce or Catherine Anderson.
