A heavily pregnant woman and a man face being locked up after a teenage boy was sexually abused with an aerosol can.

Rachel Elliot, 19, of Maidstone Road, Rochester, and 20-year-old Luke Esposito, of Wainscott Road, Wainscott, admitted sexual assault of the 18-year-old in February this year.

Maidstone Crown Court heard the sexual assault was in relation to touching the victim, who cannot be identified, without his consent.

Esposito also pleaded guilty to assaulting the same youth by penetration with the aerosol can.

Elliot, who is due to give birth next month, and Esposito were warned by Judge David Griffith-Jones that they should be “under no illusion” as to the likely punishment.

Sentence was adjourned for reports and Elliot and Esposito were released on bail.
