A HARLOW man who admitted committing a sex act in front of a child and possessing internet child porn has been warned he could face jail.
Family man Joseph Collins (38), of Willowfield, was ordered to immediately sign the sex offenders register and will be sentenced next month at Chelmsford Crown Court.
He pleaded guilty to engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child aged 15 between 31 January and 8 April last year.
He also admitted three offences of possessing indecent photographs of children - at level 1 (the lowest severity), at level 3 and at level 4. The photographs all related to girls.
Collins was remanded on bail until next month pending a pre-sentence report.
But Judge Anthony Goldstaub warned: "This doesn't mean he will not be subject to a custodial term."
