Man facing string of sex allegations

A Tayside man has been charged with a string of sexual offences, including rape.

Scott Williams is facing a total of 10 allegations, which also include abduction and possessing extreme porn.

The 30-year-old man is also accused of indecently assaulting a child on a carnival ride in Dundee as well as telling a mother that he wanted to commit sexual acts on her children.

The offences are said to have occurred during a spell close to eight years long, between April 2006 and March 2014.

Williams, whose address was given as Great Michael Road, Arbroath, first appeared for a preliminary hearing at Glasgow High Court.

He denied the charges and is now set to face trial at the High Court in Aberdeen, beginning on March 18.

The earliest offences against one woman are said to have been committed by Williams between April 2006 and September 2008.

The allegations include indecently assaulting, raping and locking the woman in a house in Angus without food or electricity and against her will on various occasions.

Between 2007 and 2008, it’s alleged Williams indecently assaulted a child while on a carnival ride at Dundee’s Riverside. There are another two charges of indecent assault against Williams involving another woman, one of which is said to have occurred in the back seat of a car.

Williams has further been charged with a breach of the peace after allegedly repeatedly telling a third woman in Angus, between 2013 and 2014, that he wished to have access to her children so he could engage them in sexual acts.

His behaviour is said to have caused the mother of the children “fear and alarm”.

Williams also allegedly coerced the same woman to view various pornographic images without her consent and without a reasonable belief that she was consenting.

It’s claimed that he sought to induce her to comment on them for his own sexual gratification.

The final charge alleges that Williams was in possession of “extreme pornographic images.”​
