A Garnant man has admitted contacting a 13-year-old boy via Facebook and enticing him to engage in sexual activities.

Liam Penfold, 22, appeared at Swansea crown court today for a plea and trial preparation hearing.

Penfold, of Maes yr Hendre, admitted enticing the child to engage in a sexual activity with another person and causing him to see an image of the performance of a sexual act.

Penfold also admitted possessing an indecent photograph of a child.

All the offences were said to have taken place in October, 2015.

Judge Keith Thomas agreed to postpone sentencing to allow time for a probation officer to prepare a report into his background.

Penfold will be sentenced later this month and as granted bail meanwhile.

But he was ordered to immediately register with the police as a sex offender.
