A TEENAGER was told he could be facing an immediate custodial sentence after he admitted raping a woman.
Jack Evans, of Woodland Terrace, Cwmavon, Pontypool, pleaded guilty to the charge before Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke at Cardiff Crown Court.
The offence was committed in January 2019 when he was aged 17.
Evans’ sentence was adjourned so that a Probation Service report into his background can be prepared.

Before he left the dock, Judge Lloyd-Clarke told him: “All sentencing options remain open, including immediate custody.”
Evans must observe an electronically-monitored curfew between 8pm and 7am.
