A BARNSLEY man has admitted raping an 11-year-old girl and will be sentenced next month.
It’s reported that at around 11.30pm on Sunday, September 10, a young girl was raped inside a property on Spencer Street, Barnsley.
Ziad Taibi, of Spencer Street, was subsequently arrested on suspicion of rape and engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a girl under 13, and was last month charged with both offences.
He appeared at Sheffield Crown Court last Thursday and pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual activity with a child under 13 and two counts of rape of a child under 13.
He will be sentenced on November 24 at the same court.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
