A CLACTON man who subjected a girl to more than ten years of sexual abuse has admitted 14 charges in court.

David Levy, of Cattermole Close, Clacton, broke down in tears and struggled to compose himself when each charge was read out to him at Chelmsford Crown Court on Friday.

Dressed in a white t-shirt, the 46-year-old admitted each of the 14 charges, which were read out to him one by one.

The earliest offence dated back as far as 2010, and the most recent took place as recently as 2021.

Two of Levy’s offences involved sexual assault of a girl under the age of 13, and six offences involved assault of a girl under the age of 13 by touching.

A further five offences involved rape of a girl under the age of 13, and the final charge involved one offence of rape of a woman 16 years or over.

Judge Christopher Morgan confirmed told the 46-year-old to expect a lengthy custodial sentence.

Levy will return to court for sentencing on Friday, December 8, and until then will be remanded in custody.
