An osteopath accused of molesting 10 male patients is due to go on trial in Inverness.

Keith Grieve, 57, denies of assaulting the men over an 11-year period at various practices in the Highlands.

Grieve is accused of assaulting ten men by removing their underwear without their permission and molesting them.

He is accused of carrying out an alleged assault against a man on various occasions between 1996 and 2000 at Bridgend Dental Practice in Thurso, Caithness.

Grieve is also accused of carrying out two further alleged attacks at Maslin House in Inverness between 2001 and 2002.

The remaining seven charges allege that he carried out sexual assaults at Highland Osteopathic Centre based at Ardross Street in Inverness, between 2005 and 2007.

Inverness Sheriff Court heard earlier that the trial could last 12 days.
