Ralph Davies, aged 23, appeared at Shrewsbury Crown Court where he admitted committing the offences in 2019.

Davies, of Beech Street, Highley, near Bridgnorth, was told that he would be sentenced on December 19 after the probation service compiles a pre-sentence report.

When he appeared at court on Friday, November 1, Davies entered not guilty pleas to three other charges of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.

Prosecuting barrister Simon Parry told the court that the pleas were acceptable to the Crown.

Proceedings were adjourned until December 19 and Davies was told that 'all options' will remain open to the sentencing judge.

Davies was bailed to appear again at Shrewsbury Crown Court on that date when he will hear his fate.
