A 22-YEAR-OLD man from the Cotswolds has admitted sexually touching a 14-year-old girl.

Callum McPhearson, of Lower Oddington in Moreton-in-Marsh, pleaded guilty at Gloucester Crown Court on Friday to sexual touching on May 18 last year.

However, he pleaded not guilty to inciting sexual activity with the same girl on the same date.

Defending barrister Lisa Hennessy said: "We have served a basis of plea on the first count and the Crown have indicated that they will consider this."

The case was adjourned until this Friday and the defendant was granted conditional bail.
