The salesman accused of 132 child sex related charges pleaded guilty to 99 but denies drugging the girl he sexually assaulted and videotaped.
A SYDNEY salesman has admitted to committing 99 child sex offences with a girl as young as 12 that he videotaped himself sexually assaulting.
But the man, 45, has denied drugging the girl or her mother, pleading not guilty to 27 counts of administering an intoxicating substance to commit an indictable offence.
He also pleaded not guilty to six sex offences against girls aged between 11 and 16 years old.
Dramatic scenes ensued in the District Court trial at Sydney’s Downing Centre on Wednesday where the man was preparing to go to trial on 132 charges, including aggravated sexual intercourse with a person aged between 10 and 14 years old.
The court heard that the man was taken into custody in January 2014 when child abuse material was found on a memory card at an address in Mt Annan, in southwestern Sydney.
But as the victim and her mother watched on, the man uttered the word “guilty” as Judge Paul Conlon read out the 99 charges.

As the jury of six men and six women watched on, Judge Conlon formally convicted the man of the 99 charges.
All the offences against the girl when she was aged as young as 12, occurred between June 2009 and July 2014, many in Mt Annan.
The man, whose identity has been suppressed, pleaded guilty to 53 charges of aggravated sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 16.
He also pleaded guilty to 25 charges of aggravated sexual intercourse with a person aged between 10 and 14, and nine assaults with act of indecency with a person under 16.
Guilty pleas were entered to two counts of possessing child abuse material, and one each of using a child for pornographic purposes and using a child over 14 to produce child abuse material.
The man will now go to trial on the drugging charges, and six child sex offences to which he has pleaded not guilty.
In dramatic scenes in court the man, 45, pleaded guilty to child sexual assault but he will defend 33 further charges.Source:news.com.au
