A man has appeared in court accused of raping a 15-year-old girl in Peterhead.
Dylan Kearney appeared in private at Aberdeen Sheriff Court following the alleged incident on Saturday at a property in the Aberdeenshire town.
The 21-year-old faced a single charge during the hearing – rape.
Kearney, whose general address was given in court documents as Aberdeen, did not enter a plea during the behind-closed-door hearing.
A spokeswoman for the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service said the case against Kearney was committed for further examination and he was released on bail.
No date has been set for his next appearance over the matter.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman confirmed police had received a report of an alleged “serious sexual assault” involving a 15-year-old girl.
She said: “A 21-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection and was due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Monday, November 8 2021.”
