Story summary
In August 2025, Ilia Belov, aged 23, and his sister Nadjedzha Belova, aged 20, assaulted girls in the Lochee area of Dundee. The incident began when Ilia made sexual remarks to a 12-year-old girl as she walked towards a bus stop with other teenagers. Angered by his comments, the girl confronted him and he then called his sister, who arrived shortly after and attacked a 13-year-old member of the group. During the assault, Ilia pushed another 12-year-old girl who hit her head on a metal handrail as she fell. Both siblings faced charges in Dundee Sheriff Court; while Ilia was found guilty following a trial for assaulting a 12-year-old and behaving abusively towards four girls aged between 12 and 14, Nadjedzha pleaded guilty to one charge of assaulting the 13-year-old. The case highlights serious concerns about public safety and the impact of sexual harassment on young people.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
