Paedophile Graham Medway — serving a nine-year jail term for raping a toddler in 2020 — faces further punishment after he admitted sexually assaulting two young girls and exposing his genitals. 

Medway, serving his sentence at HMP Isle of Wight, appeared before Island magistrates this morning (Tuesday), where he admitted two counts of sexually assaulting girls under the age of 13 on the Island.

The paedophile was jailed for raping a three-year-old girl while she was on a family day out at Fort Victoria Country Park, Yarmouth, in August 2020.

One of the new charges also relates to an incident at Fort Victoria but the new offences pre-date the child rape.
