Iain Robertson, 45, a former actor from the BBC drama River City, appears in court facing allegations from multiple women involving conduct spanning from 2004 to 2020. According to court reports, the prosecution says the incidents include allegations of rape and other sexual offences, with some claims describing coercive behaviour. One witness tells the court that Robertson was “controlling and manipulative” before later becoming “violent.” Another account presented to the court describes sex occurring despite a woman telling him “no.”

Robertson denies the charges against him. Reports state he faces a total of eight charges in some accounts, while another source refers to seven charges; however, all agree that he contests all allegations put to the court. The charges are said to involve four women. The case remains ongoing, with the court hearing evidence on the alleged offences and Robertson’s denial of wrongdoing throughout the proceedings.
