A Workington teenager has been convicted of raping a woman.

Calum Hay, 19, was unanimously found guilty of the offence today following a trial at Carlisle Crown Court.

Hay denied a charge of rape following an incident which occurred on the evening of New Year's Day last year.

But after hearing evidence in the case - including an emotional account from the victim - jurors returned a guilty verdict.

Judge Barbara Forrester adjourned the case and ordered the preparation of a background report on the teenager.

Hay, of Hunday Court, Workington - a man of previous good character - will be sentenced on March 1.

He was remanded on conditional bail and told he is now subject to the sex offender notification requirements.
