Police investigations found no evidence to support claims of sexual assault, harassment, or any wrongdoing by the Bulgarian couple (a man and a woman) who were approached by the youths. No one else has been charged or arrested in connection with the incident, and the couple are not in custody. Online narratives suggesting an “alleged attacker” (described as a 28-year-old migrant) facing charges for attempted sexual assault are unsubstantiated and have been explicitly debunked by authorities.
There are no verified reports of petitions demanding the charges be dropped, let alone ones garnering 150,000 signatures. Searches for such petitions yield no results related to this case.
The girl involved is 12 years old (not 14, as initially misreported in some early coverage). She has been charged with possession of offensive weapons (a knife and an axe) following the incident on August 23, 2025, in St Ann Lane, Lochee, Dundee. She was not arrested in the sense of custody; instead, she was referred to youth justice authorities for further action, as is standard for minors in Scotland. There is no mention of her being released on bail or the case being under special review for self-defense circumstances.
Major inquiries have confirmed that UK police forces and other authorities ignored child sexual exploitation by "grooming gangs" for years, in large part due to fears of being perceived as racist. This systemic failure has been described as a "source of national shame".
E., looks like we got a live one here.
