A 44-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the sexual assault of an eight-year-old boy in a tent at a campsite on Loch Ness. The incident occurred at the Loch Ness Bay campsite near Drumnadrochit in the Highlands between 12.20am and 1am on July 31.
Police said the boy was approached in his tent while his family was in a neighbouring tent. The child's father reportedly heard the incident and saw a man walking away from his son's tent. The boy was left traumatised and upset.
Detectives conducted an extensive investigation, reviewing more than 1,500 hours of CCTV footage and visiting nearly 100 properties. Detective Superintendent Calum Smith thanked the local community for their support, particularly businesses and individuals who provided information.
Inquiries are ongoing, and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal. The suspect remains in custody.
