Judge Niclas Parry told the defendant: "You will be given some credit because you pleaded guilty, which means a reduced sentence.

"You're going to be visited by two people - one from probation and one a psychologist.

"Answer their questions. We will have reports from them.

"That will help us sentence you."

Judge Parry adjourned the sentencing until October 14.
