Judge Simon Hirst placed Storr on the sex offenders’ register and granted him conditional bail to await sentence on September 7.

The judge told Storr: “You have pleaded guilty to serious offences. I am prepared to adjourn the case for a pre-sentence report just to look at your background and your motivation and to see where we go from there.

“Please don’t think for a moment that you won’t receive an immediate custodial sentence. Custody is likely given the offences you have admitted.

“You have been convicted of a sexual offence so you must keep the police informed of your personal particulars, of the address at which you are living and any alteration of the name you are using.

“I cannot at this stage say how long the registration will be for. It depends on the sentence passed upon you.”
