Former Arsenal youth star Tyrell Robinson, 22, has pleaded guilty to sex offences against a 14-year-old girl at Bradford Crown Court on Tuesday, June 17, 2020.
Robinson, from South Ockendon, Essex, admitted to engaging in sexual activity with a child, making an indecent image of a child, and distributing an indecent image of a child in August 2018.
He denied a charge of distributing an indecent photograph of a child in 2017, which will not be pursued by the prosecution.
Robinson was granted bail until his sentencing and was ordered to sign the sex offenders' register before he left court.
Judge Jonathan Rose warned Robinson that all options, including a prison sentence, would be open to the judge who deals with his case.
Robinson's case is now adjourned to be sentenced at a later date.
