Rapist changes plea to guilty after hearing victim's impact statement

Reid had put in a not guilty plea to raping a woman in Montpelier in April 2020. But the 22-year-old, of Walsingham Road in Mitcham, London, appeared via prison video link at Bristol Crown Court and held his hand up to the offence.
