Daniel Griffin admitted engaging in sexual communication with a child, remanded in custody

A MAN who admitted a child sex offence has been locked up to await sentencing.

Daniel Griffin appeared in the dock at Reading Magistrates’ Court on Friday, June 14.

The 32-year-old, of Sowerby Street, Thatcham, admitted engaging in sexual communication with a child and committing a sex act during a video call with that child in Newbury on a specific date this year.

Mr Griffin, who was legally represented by Gianpaolo Damiani, was told the details of the offence were so serious that it would need to be sentenced by a judge sitting at Reading Crown Court on a date to be fixed.

District judge Samuel Goozee meanwhile denied him bail and remanded Mr Griffin in custody.
