A BARE-KNUCKLE boxer with an IQ of 54 was told by a crown court judge that he must wait until January to discover his fate after being convicted of raping a woman in a care home.

John Archibald, 29, of Wapseys Wood Caravan Park, Gerrards Cross, was found guilty on November 22 of groping, fondling and raping the woman on February 8 while she was in a Buckinghamshire nursing home. She is dying from a wasting illness.

Judge Mary Mowat, sitting at Reading Crown Court on Friday, decided that Archibald would have to undergo further psychiatric tests before being sentenced and she remanded him in custody until January 19.

Archibald was found guilty of rape and indecent assault on November 22.
