A man has pleaded guilty to eight sexual offences after several police forces were alerted in December to a video containing indecent images of two children.

Police in Northamptonshire, Bristol and Brighton issued warnings and a school in Bristol urged parents to check their children's phones for the "widely shared" video.

Daniel Norton, 26, pleaded guilty at Southampton Crown Court to three counts of causing a child aged under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

He also admitted three counts of making indecent photos of a child, and charges of distributing indecent photos and possessing an extreme pornographic image.

Norton, of Cheadle, Stockport, was remanded in custody to be sentenced on 1 February.

The Charles Dickens School says any unhealthy food and drinks found will not be returned to pupils.
