Young, 50, of Farrow Close, Hartlepool, also pleaded guilty to the theft of cash from a female, also on December 7 last year, plus failure to provide a specimen and using a motor vehicle without insurance.

The offences put him in breach of a suspended prison sentence previously imposed at the crown court.

Sentence for the new offences and the breach was adjourned until a date to be fixed.

Young appeared at court over a video link from Durham Prison.

He was remanded in custody.
