A MAN appeared in private at Dunfermline Sheriff Court yesterday in connection with a serious sexual assault that occurred in July in Kelty.

The 42 year-old made no plea or direction to a charge of rape.

Mostafizur Rahman was arrested after a lengthy investigation after an incident late on July 6 when an 18 year-old woman was found in Limepark Crescent, Kelty, and told officers she had been attacked shortly before in a car.

Rahman was released on bail pending further investigation and will appear in Court at a later date.
