A former Douglas pub boss has admitted indecently assaulting another man in a flat above the premises.
Stuart James Lee Gawne of Cronk-y-Dhooney in Colby appeared before Deemster Cook in the Court of General Gaol delivery.
The 30 year old pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent assault on July 5 last year above the Bridge Inn on North Quay, but not guilty to raping the same man on the same date.
Deemster Cook agreed to adjourn the case while probation and psychiatric reports are prepared, and bailed Gawne in the sum of £500 to appear again for sentencing on August 5.
