A juvenile from the Isle of Man will be sentenced in July after pleading guilty to two charges of gross indecency with a child.

The 16-year-old who cannot be identified for legal reasons appeared at Douglas Courthouse yesterday.

He entered guilty pleas to 13 offences, dating between December 2013 and August 2014, including three charges of indecent assault and six of making indecent photographs of children.

He also admitted two charges of unlawful sexual intercourse - one with someone under the age of 13 and the other with someone under the age of 16.

Pre-sentence reports will be compiled by the Youth Justice Team before sentencing on July 14th - the teenager has been bailed in the meantime.
