A TEENAGE boy admitted raping a woman in her 70s after conning his way into her home claiming he wanted to talk to her about the war.

The 14-year-old, who cannot be named, appeared at Oxford Crown Court yesterday and entered a guilty plea to one count of rape. The boy attacked the pensioner in Banbury on November 12.

Judge Julian Hall told the defendant: “What you did was dreadful.”

The boy, who left the dock in tears, was remanded in secure accommodation for sentencing on January 20.
