Glasgow Actor Iain Robertson Tells Court Woman 'Initiated Sex'
Robertson denies seven charges as prosecutors withdrew one mid-trial, while the court heard allegations involving four women over 16 years.
- On Thursday, actor Iain Robertson appeared at the High Court in Glasgow to deny seven charges of rape and assault spanning 2004 to 2020, after prosecutors withdrew an eighth charge on Wednesday.
- Robertson testified regarding a 2007 Lake District incident, denying rape claims and asserting the woman "initiated" sex after a disagreement over a "puerile" game involving a swear word he was "made clear" not to use.
- Addressing further claims, Robertson denied assaulting a woman in 2014 or behaving in a "controlling" manner, though the 45-year-old admitted alcohol was an "underlying issue" throughout the charged period.
- Before Lady Drummond, the trial continues as Robertson also refuted claims he poured wine over a woman's coursework during an earlier incident.
- The former River City star told jurors he is "no angel" but firmly denied attacks against four women, with proceedings determining the validity of these long-standing allegations.
