He also admitted six counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, two counts of having sexual activity with a child and two counts of voyeurism.

The offences took place between December 2008 and September 2014 and included boys as young as four, seven and 10.

In 2003 he admitted three counts of indecency with a child; three counts of taking indecent photos of a child; one count of possessing indecent photos of children; one count of distributing indecent photos of children; and two counts of distributing and showing indecent photos of children.

Those offences took place between September 2001 and May 2003 and Bayliss was jailed for four-and-a-half years and put on the sex offenders’ register for life.

At the time a judge heard he had worked as a babysitter and visited a website with images of child abuse out of “curiosity”.

He will appear at the court on January 26 for sentencing.
