British media reported that Ahmed Mullah Khel, an Afghan citizen, pleaded guilty at Warwick Royal Court on Friday to raping a 12-year-old girl in Nanton, England, in July.
According to the BBC, Mollakhail, who had previously denied the accusation, changed his position during Friday’s meeting.
He has also denied charges of child abduction, two counts of sexual assault of a child under 13, and two counts of rape of a child under 13.
Mullakhil appeared in court along with another defendant, Mohammad Kabir.
Kabir has also denied charges of complicity in the rape of a child under the age of 13, attempted kidnapping of the child, and intentional strangulation in the same incident.
Both defendants will remain in custody until the next court hearing on December 12, and their main trial will be held in January 2026.
