Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 06:03 · Archive

An Oxford man has pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault against a six-year-old girl.

Elliott Day, of Songers Close, Oxford, changed his plea from not guilty to guilty at Oxford Crown Court on Wednesday, October 14. He admitted two counts of sexual assault against a six-year-old girl, with the allegations covering the period between October 27, 2017, and June 20, 2023.

Day had been released on bail with several conditions ahead of his trial. At an earlier hearing in April, when he was 40 years old, the court heard that a key issue in the trial was whether the touching was sexual in nature.

Sentencing is scheduled for Oxford Crown Court on November 13.
