A doctor has been accused of carrying out sex attacks on a patient in the 1990s.

David Baillie is said to have committed the offences at a health centre in the north of Glasgow.

The first charge allegedly occurred between January 1, 1994 and December 31, 1996.

Prosecutors claim the now 68-year-old undid the woman’s bra before staring at and touching her chest.

Baillie is said to have carried out a second attack between January 1 and February 28, 1999.

The indictment states Baillie was a “registered medical general practitioner” at the time.

His lawyer Desmond Cheyne pled not guilty on his behalf to the two indecent assault charges during a hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Tuesday.

The advocate said: “We are in a position to proceed to trial. The estimated duration is five days.”

Sheriff John McCormick set a trial due to begin in October.

Baillie, of Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, had his bail continued in the meantime.
