Detective Constable Samantha Shane, of the Bedfordshire Police Public Protection Unit, said: “Varghese took advantage of a young child in the worst and most sickening way possible and I am pleased that he will be made to pay for his actions.

“We are absolutely committed to tackling child sex abuse, clamping down on dangerous individuals such as Varghese while providing support and justice to victims. I’d like to praise the victim and her family for the bravery they have shown in coming forward and having to relive the experience in court.”

Varghese was been remanded in prison ahead of sentencing on 8 September.
