A MAN who repeatedly tried to have sex with a child has been refused bail while awaiting sentence.
In the dock at Reading Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, November 22, was James Jackson.
The 64-year-old, of Lancaster Close, Thatcham, pleaded guilty to trying to persuade a child to come to his home to engage in penetrative sexual activity on Thursday, September 15.
He also admitted trying to meet a child for sex at a hotel in Birmingham on Thursday, November 10.
Finally, Mr Jackson pleaded guilty to trying to meet a child for sex in a hotel in Wolverhampton.
This last offence was committed on Friday, November 18.
District judge Samuel Goozee declined further jurisdiction and sent all three matters to be sentenced by a judge sitting at Reading Crown Court on a date to be fixed.
Mr Jackson was meanwhile denied bail and was remanded into custody.
