A 26-year-old man has been accused of assaulting his former partner by kicking her repeatedly on the abdomen seven weeks after she'd had a cesarean section.
Andrew Miller, of Cameron Crescent, Bonnyrigg, denies the offence which is said to have happened at a house in Inchmyre, Kelso, on November 21.
A trial date has been fixed for April 4 at Jedburgh Sheriff Court.
