A 33-year-old man has admitted having sex with a 15 year-old girl and downloading indecent and extreme images.
Jonathan Alford also pleaded guilty to providing a fabricated document to the police during their investigation into his activities.
A woman in the public gallery had to be restrained as she shouted abuse at him as he entered his pleas at Exeter Crown Court.
Alford, of Blackthorn Close, Exeter, admitted six offences of sexual activity with a child. All involved the same 15-year-old girl and took place over the space of 14 months in 2010 and 2011.
He also admitted attempting to possess and indecent image of a child with the intention of distributing it, three offences of making indecent images and three of possessing extreme images of adults having sex with animals.
Alford also admitted a charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice by proving the police with 'a fabricated document' between September 2011 and February 2012.
Judge Barry Cotter, QC, granted him conditional bail in order to allow him time to get his affairs in order before he receives a custodial sentence.
Mr Rupert Taylor, defending, said:"I have advised him of the sentence he can expect. He has been on bail throughout. He is a man who works and bail will enable him to obtain character references."
A woman sitting in the public gallery gasped with horror as Alford entered his pleas. At the end of the case she tried to walk into the body of the court where she pointed at him and shouted:"You dirty, dirty, dirty bastard".
The case was adjourned for pre sentence reports and Alford was ordered to sign on the sex offenders' register immediately.
