East Midlands Today chief news reporterA man who confessed to the rape of a student 25 years ago has today been found guilty of indecently assaulting another teenager a month earlier.
Christopher Scott, 65, carried out the attacks in Nottingham in 1992.
Last year, he admitted the kidnap and rape of a student following a DNA match but a second woman came forward after recognising him in a custody photo released following the court hearing.
Image source, Nottinghamshire PoliceThe first attack happened in September 1992 when Scott indecently assaulted and attempted to kidnap the 17-year-old on Mapperley Hall Drive but she managed to flee.
A month later he grabbed an 18-year-old student at a bus stop on Mansfield Road at knifepoint, dragged her into a car and attacked her.
DNA taken at the time matched a sample taken from Scott for another matter almost 25 years later and he confessed.
He is due to be sentenced on 15 February.

CCTV captured Jarrett arriving at the shop on Robin Hood Street shortly before 21:25 GMT, when Mr Thomas and Mr Morris-Laing were both inside.
"They were both wearing similar clothing and had arrived in similar cars," Mr Joyce said.
"As has been seen from the CCTV footage, Jarrett waited immediately outside the store with a large knife in his hand and was intending to stab Rakeem Thomas as he left the store."
Image source, Family HandoutMr Joyce told the court Mr Morris-Laing left the shop first and was "immediately stabbed" in the abdomen by Jarrett.
He said Jarrett "knew straightaway that he had stabbed the wrong man", and a store assistant heard Jarrett say "soz bro" to the unintended victim before he went into the shop and chased Mr Thomas.
Mr Thomas threw items off the shelves to try to stop Jarrett, but was stabbed in the shoulder.
After Jarrett fled, passers-by attempted to help Mr Morris-Laing, but he died at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham that evening.
