A man has admitted engaging in sexual communications with a child online - including by exchanging anime porn with them.

Lewis Weaver, 26, of St Patrick's Close, Maidenhead, appeared before Reading Crown Court today (June 3).

He admitted engaging in sexually explicit exchanges with a child online.

As well as graphically fantasising about sex with the minor, he also exchanged anime pornography with them.

There were discussions about the child moving to the UK for sex with Weaver.

The offence dates to 2018.

In light of Weaver's guilty plea, Judge Neil Millard set a sentencing date in the case for August 20.
