A 22-YEAR-OLD man has pleaded guilty to a serious sexual assault on a six-year-old girl in Quedgeley.

Christopher Rouen, of Dumbarton Road in Stockport, admitted penetrating the child's mouth between June 30 and September 30, 2011.

At Gloucester Crown Court on Monday, he also admitted to touching the child sexually.

Rouen was released on bail for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.

It is a condition of his bail that he does not come into Gloucestershire except to attend court.

The judge, recorder James Townsend, warned Rouen that a 'prison sentence is inevitable.'
