'No angel': River City actor denies assaulting women in court
River City actor Iain Robertson has told a jury he is 'no angel' while denying eight charges of assault spanning a 16-year period in court.
Legal proceedings for Iain Robertson
Iain Robertson, a recognised actor from the television series River City, is currently facing a series of serious legal challenges. During his appearance in court, Robertson addressed the jury directly, offering a candid assessment of his character by stating he is "no angel." However, this admission did not extend to the specific allegations of assault currently being heard in the proceedings.
The prosecution has brought forward a total of eight charges against the actor. These allegations are not recent, as they purportedly cover a significant period of 16 years. The court is hearing testimony regarding alleged attacks on four women, all of which Robertson has categorically denied.
Case overview
- Defendant: Iain Robertson, known for River City.
- Total charges: Eight separate allegations.
- Timeframe: Incidents spanning a 16-year period.
- Core denial: Robertson denies all allegations of assault against four women.
The trial involves examining a lengthy history of alleged misconduct. While Robertson's comments regarding his character have been noted by those present, the legal focus remains strictly on whether the evidence supports the eight specific charges. The defence maintains that the actor did not commit the assaults alleged by the prosecution.
As the proceedings continue, the jury will be responsible for determining the facts surrounding these allegations. The outcome of the trial will depend on the weight of the evidence presented regarding the specific incidents involving the four women mentioned in the charges.
