The 28-year-old trapped a 15-year-old girl in a bathroom and forced her to perform oral sex on him before trying to have penetrative sex with her during a house party, the court heard.
Bucknell, of Nightingale Avenue, Oxford, denied the offences – telling police the oral sex was consensual and that the girl had told him she was 16-years-old.
He will now be sentenced at the same court on Thursday, March 28.
