East St Clement Church was cordoned off by police.
A man has appeared in court charged with raping a woman in an Aberdeen graveyard.
Police launched an investigation into a “serious” sexual assault on St Clement Street on May 15, and sealed off the churchyard as inquiries got under way.
The alarm was raised at about 2.20am following reports a 32-year-old woman had been attacked.
The church on St Clement Street was cordoned off with police standing guard.
And now, Sean Wyness, 31, has appeared in private at Aberdeen Sheriff Court in connection with the incident.
Wyness, of Aberdeen, faced a single charge of rape during the behind-closed-doors hearing.
He made no plea and was released on bail while the case against him was committed for further examination.
