A 62-year-old man has pleaded guilty to the rape of a three-year-old girl at a country park, according to police.
On Monday, August 31, police were called to Fort Victoria Country Park following reports that a young girl had been seriously sexually assaulted in an area of woodland by a man she did not know.
Following a thorough investigation involving police officers from across the Isle of Wight and the mainland, Graham Medway, 62, from Freshwater was charged with rape of a child under the age of 13.
Appearing at Newport Crown Court today, he admitted the offence and was remanded in custody to appear at the same court on January 8 for sentencing.
