Cox, of Bristol, was not personally present at Stirling Sheriff Court todaywhen his solicitor, Stephen Maguire, asked for the case to be continued without plea.

But Sheriff Wyllie Robertson ordered a plea of not guilty to be entered on Cox’s behalf, and set trial for July.

Cox, a salesman, was also ordered to attend a pre-trial hearing in June.

The sheriff said that he hoped that by ordering the plea to be entered, “some progress can be made”.

For legal reasons, the woman who allegedly saw Cox’s privates cannot be named.
