A Highland police officer has appeared in court on four sexual assault charges, The Press and Journal can reveal.
Trevor James McConnachie, a police constable in Wick, appeared at the town’s sheriff court in private on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old is also accused of one charge concerning alleged abusive behaviour towards a partner or ex-partner.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland told The P&J: “On Wednesday 8 November 2023, a 29-year-old officer was arrested and charged with sexual offences following a complaint in September 2023”.

She confirmed that the policeman was due to appear at Wick Sheriff Court and that a report had been submitted to the procurator fiscal.
Appearing in the dock, McConnachie – whose address was given as Police Scotland’s Professional Standards Department in Glasgow – made no plea and was released on bail by Sheriff Gary Aitken pending further inquiry.
It’s claimed that the alleged offences occurred on various dates in Caithness during this year.
