Man admits sexual offences against 2 boys

An Adelaide man has pleaded guilty to sexually exploiting the two young sons of his then partner.

The man, 37, had previously denied the charges, but in the District Court on Monday admitted to charges of persistent sexual exploitation of the boys, aged six and seven, between November 2011 and November 2012.

He also pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault and the crown did not proceed with two counts of aggravated indecent assault.

The 35-year-old mother of the boys also had been charged with their sexual exploitation, but the charges were later dropped.

The man will face a sentence hearing on March 19.
