A MAN who admits he groomed a child to engage in sexual activity is free on bail ahead of his December sentencing.
Nigel Brian Cox pleaded guilty in Mandurah Magistrates Court on Friday to three counts of using electronic material with intent to procure a person, under the age of 16, to engage in sexual activity.
Mr Cox also pleaded guilty to one further count of using electronic communication to expose a child under the age of 16 to indecent matter.
The court heard Mr Cox committed the offences on February 11 this year from a Lakelands home.
Supported in court by his partner, the accused will remain free on bail until his December 5 sentencing.
Due to the seriousness of the charges, that hearing will be at Perth District Court.
