Remember the little Scottish girl that had to defend her body with an ax?

Remember they called you ist/phobes for saying he was probably a Muslim immigrant? I mean, he was Bulgarian, you racist Islamaphobes!!! His name was Illia Belov, you bigots!!!

Whelp. . . I was reading the court transcript, and now here is Grok's aggregation

Background
Ilia Kostadinov Belov (age ~22) is a Bulgarian national living in Dundee, Scotland, currently facing trial alongside Nadjedzha Belova for allegedly assaulting and making sexual remarks to girls aged 12–14 in August 2025. He is widely reported in court coverage as Bulgarian

"Fatos Ali Dumana" appears to be an alias or alternative name he has used (e.g., on social media/driving licence references). "Fatos" and especially "Ali" are common in Muslim contexts (Ali is a major Islamic name)

and there were people suggesting she was the aggressor, turns out that was a lie

According to court testimony, Belov allegedly approached the group of girls heading to a bus stop, made sexual remarks to the 12-year-old (e.g., repeatedly calling her "sexy" and saying he would "show [her] how to have a good time"), followed them, seized/pushed her to the ground, and assaulted her.

His co-accused, Nadjedzha Belova (20, reportedly his sister), previously admitted to seizing another girl by the hair, dragging her to the ground, and striking her on the head.

The girl testified that after being pushed, she pulled a knife and small axe from her waistband in response. A viral video showed her holding the weapons (she later dumped them). CCTV reportedly captured parts of the incident.

Trial is still ongoing, near as I can tell

Belov claims he acted in self defense, using his phone video as evidence.

Unfortunately for Fatos, the area is littered with CCTV cameras.

here is a BBC link for the trial, which is ongoing.
