A 15-YEAR-OLD boy has admitted robbing and raping a woman in St Helier.

The teenager, who cannot legally be named because of his age, appeared before the Royal Court yesterday.

He pleaded guilty to robbing the victim of £11 in cash in the area of Westmount Road on 13 October. He further admitted raping and indecently assaulting her on the same date.

After pleading guilty to all three charges, the 15-year-old, who was born in the UK, was remanded in custody until his next court appearance. He is due to be sentenced by the Royal Court on 25 January.
