A Hereford pervert has been told to expect a prison sentence after pleading guilty to child sex offences.
David Goodridge, 42, appeared at Worcester Crown Court via video link from HMP Hewell in Worcestershire.
Appearing emotionless during the five-minute hearing, Goodridge, wearing a grey sweatshirt, spoke only to confirm his name and enter pleas.
He pleaded guilty to attempting to cause or incite an underage girl to engage in sexual activity involving penetration, and attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child.
No further details of the offences were heard in court on October 27, where Simon Hanns appeared for the prosecution.
Defence barrister Amiee Parkes said Goodridge, of Roman Road in Hereford, did have previous convictions, including breaching court orders, and understood a prison sentence was likely.
She said his most recent conviction was in February 2025 for an offence in March 2024, which resulted in a community order.
The judge, Recorder David Mason KC, remanded him in custody ahead of sentencing on November 26, allowing the probation service time to provide reports.
