A Samoan man has pleaded guilty to raping an Australian woman in Samoa last November.
Thirty-year-old Terry Faatai entered a guilty plea through his lawyer Tuala Joe Ponafasio.
Justice Leiataulesa Daryl Clarke issued name suppression for the complainant and allowed a defence request that Faatai be able to apologise to the complainant before she departed for Australia.
Faatai apologised to the complainant and asked for her forgiveness.
Faatai remains in custody.
