Man Arrested After 'Serious Sexual Assault' of 12-Year-Old Girl

In Johnstone, Renfrewshire, police arrested a 38-year-old man, charging him with a serious sexual assault.
On July 13, 2025, the man allegedly attacked a 12-year-old girl in Johnstone, leading to his arrest and subsequent court appearance.
Authorities confirmed the man is due to appear in court at a later date.
Hardie said the incident had `caused concern in the local community` and thanked the public for their support during our enquiries.
In an unrelated case earlier this month, Hardie noted a convicted ex-teacher described allegations `load of rubbish` during evidence at the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry.
