From the BBC report:

Alex Salmond has appeared in court charged with carrying out a series of sexual offences against 10 women while serving as Scotland’s first minister.

Mr Salmond faced a total of 14 charges at the High Court in Edinburgh.

He denies all the allegations, which include one attempted rape, one intent to rape, 10 sexual assaults and two indecent assaults.

The offences are alleged to have happened between June 2008 and November 2014.

Yikes, that will be a bit of fall from grace if he is found guilty.

Can we stress that this is a current legal proceeding and he deserves the presumption of innocence until proven guilty so watch what you say in the comments.
