The 61-year-old man was not represented by a lawyer when he pleaded guilty to the charges which all occurred on November 25, 2020.
The man pleaded guilty to indecent assault of a woman by touching her on the breasts, bottom and vagina over and under her clothes.
He also pleaded guilty to a total of four counts of digital rape of the woman's vagina.
A fifth count of rape comprised inserting his finger and tongue into her anus.
He also pleaded guilty to a count of attempted rape for attempting to have sexual intercourse without the woman's consent.
