The gun, which was viable but has now been made safe, was found in woodland near Cranberry Road in Madley Park, Witney, on Monday.

Three people have been arrested after a handgun was found hidden in woodland in Oxfordshire.

The ex-Worcestershire player assaulted the victim at his Worcester flat after she had consensual sex with his then teammate Joe Clarke on 1 April 2017. Prosecutors at Worcester Crown Court said Hepburn "dehumanised" women, rating them in text messages. Hepburn, 23, who was cleared of another count of rape, will be sentenced at Hereford Crown Court on 30 April. Jurors deliberated for 10 hours and 53 minutes before delivering a unanimous verdict of guilty on one count of oral rape. Hepburn sighed and then slumped into his seat, covered his face with his hands and sobbed after the verdict was returned by the foreman. Bailing Hepburn, Judge Jim Tindal said: "There is only one sentence that can properly be handed down in this case, and a custodial sentence is inevitable." Prosecutors described how the cricketer "took advantage" of the woman. Sexual conquest competition She woke up and wrongly believed she was having sex with Mr Clarke, before realising it was actually Hepburn, jurors heard. The jury was shown a video interview in which the complainant said she woke to find a man who she thought was Mr Clarke straddling her. She told police that after 10 minutes of sexual activity with Hepburn, he spoke in a "thick" Australian accent and she realised he was not Mr Clarke. Giving evidence during his retrial, Hepburn said: "She was engaging in the act so I presumed she was enjoying it." Jurors were told Mr Clarke left his bedroom to be sick in a bathroom, where he passed out, leaving the woman asleep on a mattress in his room. Asked when the woman is alleged to have realised she was not with Mr Clarke, Mr Hepburn added: "She said 'what are you doing?' "I was confused. It was no different to a normal sexual encounter." 'Stark reminder' On Wednesday, Hepburn admitted he had sent "disgusting, horrible and embarrassing" WhatsApp messages while setting the rules of a sexual conquest competition. He also admitted the conquest "game" led to him sleeping with 20 women during a similar competition in 2016. Prosecutor Ms Miranda Moore QC said earlier in the retrial: "A sleeping girl cannot consent. She would not have countenanced sexual activity with Hepburn. "He would have known she was with his mate. She was in Joe's bed, not his. On the evidence, his bed was empty." Worcestershire County Cricket Club (WCCC) said it was "appalled" by the details in the case, while the the Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA) said the case served as a "stark reminder" of the standards it expects. Det Chief Insp Ian Wall of West Mercia Police said: "We welcome the conviction and I hope it will offer some comfort to the victim, who has shown great courage and strength in coming forward. "At the time of the offence Hepburn was in a position of trust and power as a professional sportsman...and I hope this conviction will provide reassurance to other victims of sexual offences."

Cricketer Alex Hepburn has been found guilty of rape after attacking a sleeping woman.

Argentina's embassy in London said new laws had been passed by the country's congress to clamp down on exploration it claims is in breach of UN decisions. The UK's Foreign Office insisted the activities were legitimately controlled by the islands' government. Islanders recently voted overwhelmingly to remain a British overseas territory. The embassy said legislation "provides for prison sentences for the duration of up to 15 years; fines equivalent to the value of 1.5 million barrels of oil; the banning of individuals and companies from operating in Argentina; and the confiscation of equipment and any hydrocarbons that would have been illegally extracted". Stepped up claims It said in a statement: "The Argentine government has protested against and rejected all of the United Kingdom's attempts to promote and authorize such hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation activities in the area of the Argentine continental shelf. "These attempts are manifestly contrary to Resolution 31/49 of the United Nations General Assembly, which requires the UK and Argentina to refrain from taking decisions that would imply introducing unilateral modifications into the situation of the Malvinas Islands while the sovereignty dispute between the two countries is still pending." In a referendum in March, Falkland Islanders decided by 1,513 votes to three to remain a UK overseas territory but Argentina - which calls the islands the Malvinas - has stepped up its claims to them at the United Nations. A Foreign Office spokesman said: "Hydrocarbons activities by any company operating on the continental shelf of the Falkland Islands are regulated by legislation of the Falkland Islands government, in strict accordance with the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea. "As such these activities are wholly legitimate and legal. The UK government unequivocally supports the right of the Falkland Islanders to develop their natural resources for their own economic benefit. "This right is an integral part of their right of self-determination, which is expressly contained in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. "Argentine domestic law does not apply to the Falkland Islands or South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, which are UK overseas territories." Argentine forces invaded the Falkland Islands on 2 April 1982 and surrendered after two months of fighting. A total 255 British and about 650 Argentine servicemen were killed, along with three Falkland civilians.

Argentina has threatened oil businesses operating off the Falkland Islands with fines, confiscations and jail sentences for their executives.
