A man is to stand trial charged with sexually assaulting and injuring a baby girl.

Alan Kusz faced the accusation during a short hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.

It is claimed the 43-year-old attacked the one-year-old at a house in Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, last April.

Prosecutors allege the baby was assaulted to her severe injury and permanent impairment.

Kusz pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Lord Mulholland set a trial due to begin in May.
