Former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond has appeared in court in Edinburgh accused of two counts of attempted rape.
Among a total of 14 charges, he's also accused of 9 counts of sexual assault - but he insists he's innocent.
He made no plea during the hearing and was released on bail.
Speaking afterwards, he said he absolutely refutes the allegations:
Let me say at the outset I am innocent of any criminality whatsover.
I've got great faith in the courts system of Scotland.
