A 12 year-old girl dubbed ‘Sophie of Dundee’ on social media who was arrested and charged after police initially believed a Bulgarian man’s claims that she had called him a “f***ing migrant” has been vindicated after he was found guilty of assault. The Mail has the story.
The terrified schoolgirl was filmed brandishing a knife and axe by Ilia Belov who shared the video online after he had called her “sexy” and then attacked her.
Her mother has said that her daughter “told the truth from the start” but no one believed her, including Police Scotland.
“It’s been heartbreaking,” she said after Belov’s convictions for assault and threatening behaviour at Dundee Sheriff Court yesterday.
His sister Nadjedzha Belova, 20, had already admitted assaulting the victim’s older sister, who was 13, by pulling her to the ground by the hair and striking her head.
The case came after the murder of Henry Nowak in Southampton, who was arrested and handcuffed as he died after police believed the lies of Sikh killer Vickrum Digwa.
Digwa stabbed Nowak six times with an eight-inch ceremonial sword and then falsely claimed the 18 year-old student had racially abused him.
Ilia Belov, 22, had followed his 12 year-old victim and three other girls through Dundee last August, yelling at her: “Come here sexy. I will show you how to have a good time.”
When she stood up for herself and called him “creepy”, Belov shoved her, causing her to hit her head on a metal handrail as she fell to the ground in the Lochee area of the city. He phoned his sister who then turned up and beat up a 13 year-old.
Belov filmed the 12 year-old brandishing a knife and axe at him in footage that led to her arrest. The viral video was shared on X by Elon Musk who said: “What kind of government arrests little girls who try to defend themselves?”
But the schoolgirl was vilified when First Minister John Swinney condemned Musk’s defence as “deliberate misinformation” and the SNP leader accused the billionaire of trying to “undermine” community cohesion.
Police Scotland released a statement saying a “Bulgarian couple” had been “approached by youths” as the authorities appeared to pin the blame on her.
Yesterday the girl, now 13, and her sister, now 14, were called “impressive” and “eloquent” witnesses as they were praised for telling the truth.
Belov claimed he had acted in self-defence and alleged the girl called him “a f***ing migrant” when he walked past to buy cigarettes. In fact he called her “sexy” and pushed her over.
His evidence was dismissed as “wholly unconvincing… revisionist and self-serving” by Sheriff Tim Niven-Smith after he was found guilty of assaulting the 12 year-old. He was also convicted of behaving in a “threatening or abusive manner” towards four girls aged between 12 and 14.
Worth reading in full.
The Daily Sceptic‘s Laurie Wastell wrote about the incident at the time and called it right: “In their desire to disassociate themselves from ‘far-Right’ narratives, sundry centrist pundits have sided with a foreign man in an altercation with a vulnerable 12 year-old British girl.”

Whatever else they say they are, they are Roma, for sure.
The BBC has this story hidden away on “Central Tayside” web page and you get there via “News” and then “Scotland”
And the Gpv wonder why people losing patience now, deport both of these vile pieces of shite
Having problems “liking” comments and look of site – anybody else?
It just keeps happening. This is the culprit who stabbed a girl in the neck in Brierfield. No details on him yet;
”17 year old girl in critical condition after being stabbed near Burnley. Suspect looks remorseful.”

This dangerous man was known to the police because he attacked this person’s daughter, but the police seemed uninterested in pursuing it at the time;

This is apparently the footage, but as with everything on Twitter it’s not been verified so take with a pinch of salt. She sprinted away, though, which is a good sign. What did he use? A butter knife?
”Horrific scenes out of Burnley, England today as a 17yr old girl is stabbed in the throat in broad daylight.”

Seems the psycho is known round that area and has a reputation, according to a neighbour;

God, that’s horrific footage. It’s reminiscent of the poor Ukrainian girl stabbed in the neck last year on a bus in the North Carolina, USA. Iryna Zarutska was her name, 23 years old.
Across the West, national governments are utterly failing in their duties to protect their own citizens, none more so than the UK government.
Awesome girls…
Asset strip and deport, deport, deport.
And F you, Swinney, you vile maggot.
Perhaps now Kathleen Stock will see beyond her otherworldly, academic, middle class prejudice and reassess her shameful comments on this matter.
Another extraordinary example of two tier justice. But can someone please explain why a12 year girl was carrying an axe and a knife and was she been carrying them before the altercation with the Bulgarian man?
She was carrying those weapons in case of trouble, because she and her sisters and friends had been harassed previously by Third World Criminals in Dundee.
Indeed.
Never trust a man who cannot tie a tie…
“…and alleged the girl called him “a f***ing migrant”
And that was incorrect?
Good grief… what in God’s name has happened to the comments section?
It’s bizarre. The format’s gone mental. I thought I was the only one seeing gigantic reply arrows!😆 Are we the only ones afflicted?🤔
me too – it’s awful
Yep, it is absolutely ridiculous and quietly driving me nuts.
Fantastic news! Little “Braveheart Girl“ and her sister were telling the truth all along, but “DEI” training forced the police to believe the Lying Third World B*stards instead, just like they were trained to believe the Lying Family of Sikh Cowards who ganged up on poor Henry Nowak.
I hope the two Evil Bulgarian Child Bashers are given prison sentences to wipe the smirks off their faces, and I hope John Swinney issues an apology to Little Braveheart Girl and her sister, and also an apology to Elon Musk.
The Government wants to censor social media to prevent misinformation – a better plan would be to censor Government to prevent its deluge of mis/disinformation.
The only place you can be sure you will find the truth is on social media.
The Daily Sceptic is not social media.
Deport the vile piece of shit.
