Man accused of abusing women in Glasgow and Hamilton
Dominic Humble, 27, faces an indictment listing a total of 14 charges spanning between June 2015 and August 2023.
The accusations feature a total of five women.
The alleged offences are said to have occurred mainly at addresses in Glasgow's East End and in Hamilton, Lanarkshire.
Amongst the charges are that he raped one of the women and separately engaged in conduct which left her fearful of his actions.

The latter includes a claim that he did "pretend" that he had "a terminal medical diagnosis".
It is also said he caused the woman to be sanctioned with "anti-social behaviour warnings".
Prosecutors also claim he spun a child - known to her - on a roundabout "at speed" causing the youngster to be injured after falling off.
It is alleged Humble was jealous and controlling with a second woman amid an accusation that he also choked her.
The indictment states he harassed a third on social media and repeatedly demanded money.
Humble is further accused of being violent to another woman including claims that he slapped and punched her, forced her to sleep on the floor, hit her with a bottle and other household items.

The case could last around eight days.
