A 15-year-old boy has been charged with sexually assaulting a teenage girl in Aberdeen.

The incident reportedly took place near the Donmouth Nature Reserve in the early hours of Thursday.

The teenager was arrested later that day and then charged on Friday.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a 15-year-old male who was arrested yesterday has been charged in relation to an alleged sexual assault."

The 15-year-old, who cannot be identified because of his age, is expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Friday.
