A RAPIST has admitted a brutal attack on a female dog walker in Blackburn's Billinge Woods 11 years ago.

Graham Darbyshire, 52, subjected his victim to a terrifying 90-minute ordeal after attacking the 22-year-old as she walked her dog on October 8, 1995.

He admitted two counts of rape and one of indecent assault.

Darbyshire, of Elm Grove, Cuerden, Leyland, also pleaded guilty to a charge of indecent assault relating to an attack on a woman in a field in Boothstown, Greater Manchester, on July 31,1993.

Sentencing will take place in December.
