A 43-year-old man has admitted breaking into an 18-year-old woman's Perth home and raping her at knife point almost 20 years ago.
Darren Robert Atkinson pleaded guilty to a string of charges in the Perth Magistrates Court on Wednesday including aggravated sexual penetration, deprivation of liberty and aggravated burglary.
He broke into the woman's Queens Park home wearing a balaclava in June 1997 and tied up the teenager before sexually assaulting her.

Atkinson also pleaded guilty to similar charges committed against a second woman in July 1999 in Tuart Hill.
He will face a sentencing hearing in the West Australian District Court on August 12.
