The court heard how Starmore was jailed in 2017 for driving offences.
The prosecution was represented by Rhodri Jones and the defence by Stuart John.
Recorder Paul Lewis QC adjourned sentence for the preparation of a report.
He warned Starmore that report is only likely to help determine how long his custodial sentence will be.
The defendant’s sentence will take place on January 26 and he was granted bail.
