A Kilwinning man has appeared in court charged with rape following an incident in Stevenston earlier this month.
Craig William Higgins, 36, appeared in private this afternoon and made no plea to two charges of rape under the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009.
He was committed for further examination and remanded in custody pending the result of bail appeal and will appear again at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court later.
