A Cumbrian man has admitted five historic sex offences against a boy.
Michael Ronald Stanborough, 52, of Calder Avenue, Whitehaven, pleaded guilty to all five charges put before him when he appeared at Preston Crown Court yesterday.
The offences took place over a one-year period in Whitehaven in the late 1970s, when Stanborough was aged about 15 or 16.
The victim was said to be just seven or eight-years-old.
Stanborough will be sentenced at Carlisle Crown Court on Monday, August 8.
