Two Bulgarian siblings have been sentenced after assaulting girls in Dundee in August 2025.
Two Bulgarian siblings have been sentenced at Dundee Sheriff Court for assaulting girls during an incident in the Lochee area of the city in August 2025. Ilia Belov, 23, was found guilty of assaulting a 12-year-old girl and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner towards four girls aged between 12 and 14. His sister Nadjedzha Belova, 20, pleaded guilty to assaulting a 13-year-old girl.
Belov was sentenced to 18 months of supervision, 300 hours of unpaid work, and placed on the sex offenders register for 18 months. Belova received 180 hours of unpaid work. Sheriff Timothy Niven-Smith dismissed Belov's version of events, describing it as 'neither credible nor reliable'.
During the trial, the court heard that Belov made sexual remarks to a 12-year-old as she walked towards a bus stop with friends. The girl, now 14, recalled him saying: 'Come here sexy. I will show you how to have a good time.' She said his words made her feel 'dead angry'. Belov then phoned his sister, who arrived and began attacking a 13-year-old member of the group. During the incident, Belov pushed the 12-year-old, who hit her head on a metal handrail as she fell to the ground.
