A man has admitted supplying MDMA to a group of teenagers, including a 16-year-old schoolgirl who died after collapsing in an Exeter nightclub.
James Greaves, 18, of Hatt, Cornwall, admitted between 23 November and 3 December 2022 being jointly concerned in the supply of MDMA to a number of young people.
Taylor Rowsell, 18, of Rosebery Road, Exmouth, Devon, previously admitted the same charge of supplying class A drugs between the same dates.
Lucy Hill, 16, died in December 2022 after taking MDMA and collapsing at the Move nightclub on Exeter Quay. Both men were granted conditional bail and will be sentenced on 18 October at Exeter Crown Court.
An 18-year-old woman who was also arrested on suspicion of supplying class A drugs was given an adult caution.
No further police action was taken against another 18-year-old woman.
Exmouth Community College previously posted an online tribute to Lucy saying she was "a kind, considerate beautiful person" who was "always smiling and looking out for others".
