According to the prosecution, Nikulainen, aged 27, is accused of committing three separate attacks during this timeframe.

The same woman reportedly became a victim again on September 3 of the same year, at the same location, in what is described as a second assault.
The third and most recent charge involves an incident on October 11 this year, at a residence in Dundee’s Polepark area.
Prosecutors allege that Nikulainen threatened a second woman with violence before forcibly entering her home.
It is claimed that he pulled her hair, pushed her into a bedroom, forced her onto a bed, and raped her during this encounter.
At his initial court appearance, Nikulainen, who resides on Liberton Road in Edinburgh, did not enter a plea.

As a result, he was remanded in custody pending further legal proceedings.
The case continues to develop as authorities investigate these serious allegations against him.
