Guilty Plea For Freshwater Man Charged With Child Rape

A Freshwater man has admitted raping a three-year-old girl at Fort Victoria Country Park in Yarmouth.

Graham Medway, of no fixed address, appeared at the Isle of Wight Crown Court this afternoon (Monday).

The 62-year-old has been charged with rape of a child under the age of 13 following an incident at Fort Victoria on August 31.

As Isle of Wight Radio previously reported, police were told that a young girl had been seriously sexually assaulted in an area of woodland by a man she did not know.

Mr Medway is due to appear at the Isle of Wight Crown Court for sentencing on January 8, 2021.

He has been remanded in custody until that date.
