A callous sex predator has been caged after raping a support worker at his flat in Edinburgh .
Albert Caballero pled guilty to the sexual attack on the woman in her twenties at his home in Windsor Place in the capital on December 27, 2018.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard she attended Cabellero's property in her role as a support worker when he started making inappropriate comments.
When she attempted to leave she found the 46-year-old had locked the door. He then told her that he was going to rape her before pinning her to the ground.
The woman fought back and punched him in the face but she was then forced into the bedroom where she was attacked.
When she left the flat, the victim informed a colleague and then made her way to Leith Police Station.
A short time after the incident, Caballero went to Portobello Police Station and used the phone outside to call police and admit to his actions.
Detective Inspector Jonny Wright of Edinburgh's Public Protection Unit said: "This was an absolutely terrifying ordeal for the woman, who entered Caballero's flat with the intention of trying to help him.
"This is a horrendous attack under any circumstances, but that it took place during the course of the victim's work makes it even more shocking.
"I wish to commend the victim for her courage and strength throughout the investigation.
"We welcome this conviction and want to reassure the public that we are committed to working with our partners to fully support victims, while ensuring people like Caballero are brought to justice."
Caballero has been remanded in custody and will be sentenced on June 26.
