I think he has been released on Bail as there is no chance of him absconding so I'm not worried about that,He will definitely get a custodial sentence regardless of his age as the crimes were serious.
To be honest i think he could end up topping himself in the meantime.
It's horrible what he did,i used to think he was brill back in the day and loved his barmy football reports in later years.
Yes he has pleaded guilty for easier sentence,in a way though it's annoying that it will make his sentence shorter as he totally denied it previously (like they all do)
What shocked me was one of his 'Victims' was 9,Ok older girls look mature etc but a 9 year old-bloody hell thats sick
