Williams had no previous convictions.
The prosecution was represented by Heath Edwards and the defendant by Lee Davies.
Judge Jeremy Jenkins adjourned the case until March 19 so that a Probation Service report could be prepared.
He told Williams he had to register as a sex offender at a police station within 48 hours and warned him that “all sentencing options are open”.
The defendant was granted conditional bail.
