He has been warned he faces an indeterminate jail sentence when he returns to court on 27 July.Recorder of Birmingham Judge William Davis QC said the public had to be protected from him.

One of his grooming victims said she had communicated with Wilson through a messaging site and Netlog, a web-based youth community site.She said she first started to have in normal conversations over the internet, but was eventually pressured into exposing herself to him via a webcam.

She said she was then told that the images would be distributed if she refused to follow his orders.One of the police officers who worked on the case said his acts were "horrendous" and called him "a dangerous individual".
