During the hearing the dates of the offences, which were wrong on the court records sent from magistrates court, were corrected by Judge Nicholas Cartwright.
All the offences took place between January 1, 2020, and August 12, 2021.
Mark Thompson, defending Ryan, asked for an adjournment for a pre-sentence report which was granted by the judge.
Mr Thompson also indicated he may request a psychiatric report.
At the end of the hearing the judge told Ryan to return to Worcester Crown Court on April 14.
He was granted conditional bail.
