A Lincolnshire man has admitted five charges of rape involving a 12-year-old girl.
David Thorne, 22, of New Crescent, Cherry Willingham, near Lincoln, pleaded guilty during a hearing at Lincoln Crown Court.
He also admitted three offences of assault by penetration on the same victim.
The court heard Thorne had entered the pleas on the basis that he believed the victim, who cannot be named, was over the age of consent.
