Dundee man accused of stalking nine-year-old girl to stand trial

Dundee Sheriff Court.
Dundee Sheriff Court.

A man is to stand trial accused of stalking a nine-year-old girl – asking her to tell him her name and address then “loitering outside her school in his van”.

Brian Bruce is alleged to have “repeatedly followed” the girl over the course of a week earlier this year.

Prosecutors allege he stalked the young girl at parks, outside a primary school streets and in streets across Dundee between February 15 and 22.

Bruce is alleged to have “engaged in a course of conduct that caused fear or alarm” by approaching and contacting her and requesting that she tell him her name and address.

He is further said to have repeatedly followed her in his van, activated his lights and sounded his horn, waved at her and loitered in his van outside her school.

Bruce, 56, of Palais Court, Dundee, denied a charge of stalking on summary complaint at Dundee Sheriff Court.

George Donnelly, defending, said: “He maintains his plea of not guilty.

“We can agree certain evidence in the case.

“There is one potential defence witness and if he is to be called his details will be given to the Crown.”

Fiscal depute Muhammad Sadiq added: “The Crown are fully prepared for trial and all witnesses have been cited.”

Sheriff Lorna Drummond QC continued the case to a trial date later this month.
