A 26-YEAR-OLD man has been warned to expect a long jail sentence after pleading guilty to six offences of rape.

Mohammed Imran Ditta, of Bradford Street, Lawkholme, Keighley, was re-bailed today to be sentenced at Bradford Crown Court on September 4.

Ditta admitted six offences of raping the same woman, between January, 2012, and May last year.

His barrister, Katherine Robinson, asked for the case to be adjourned for the preparation of a probation report.

Judge Peter Benson told Ditta: "A lengthy sentence of imprisonment is inevitable."

He made an order banning him from contacting his victim and Ditta had to sign on the sex offenders' register.
