Rev Andrew Leatherbarrow had been due to face trial but changed his plea during an appearance at Liverpool Crown Court earlier.He will be sentenced on 14 October.
He has previously denied another similar charge involving a 14-year-old girl and also attempting to cause a child aged between 13 and 15 to watch a sexual act, and making a Category C indecent image. Judge Simon Medland KC told the white haired defendant, who wore a dark grey suit, that he had had “enormous good sense” to change his pleas and the sentence will be “significantly lighter than otherwise would have been the case”.
