A primary school worker has appeared in court charged with abducting and sexually assaulting a young girl.

James Moran was arrested over the incident at the school in the south side of Glasgow on Tuesday.

Moran, a member of staff at the primary, appeared in private on Thursday from custody at the city's sheriff court.

The 32-year-old from Dalmarnock faced a charge of abducting and sexually assaulting the young child.

Papers from the court claim Moran abducted the girl at the school and "did take her by the arm, lead her into a store cupboard and did detain her against her will".

A second charge alleges Moran sexually assaulted the child by taking an indecent photograph of her.

He made no plea or declaration, while his case was continued for further examination.

It is expected Moran will appear again at court at a later date.
