A man has admitted abducting a primary school girl while dressed as a woman before sexually assaulting her at his home in the Scottish Borders.

Andrew Miller, who is also known as Amy George, offered to give the girl a lift home in February of this year.

The 53-year-old instead drove her to his own house, locked her in a bedroom and refused to let her leave.

He then subjected her to a series of sexual assaults over the course of a day.

She was able to escape from the bedroom after Miller fell asleep. She found his landline, dialled 999 and the police arrived within minutes.

Miller was still sleeping when he was arrested.
