A female sex offender has admitted breaking the terms of her registration by working at a steam railway without telling police of her new address.
Adele Bridle was required to tell the authorities about her movements because she has a conviction for downloading child abuse images on the internet four years ago.
The former psychology student was living in Newton Abbot but broke the conditions of the register by working as a volunteer on a steam railway in Wales for more than seven days.
Bridle, aged 33, of Croft Road, Newton Abbot, admitted failing to comply with the notification procedures between February 22 and April 20 last year.
She denied two similar offences of failing to notify police that she was using the different surname of Jarvis and not giving enough notice of a trip abroad.
Judge Francis Gilbert, QC, adjourned her case at Exeter Crown Court to allow the Crown Prosecution Service time to decide if they wish to proceed with the two remaining charges.
Mr Rupert Taylor, defending, said the offences were technical in nature and suggested the case could be dealt with by a conditional discharge.
He said she had worked at a steam railway in Wales and stayed away from home for a total of 13 days but not realised she had to tell the police because she was never there for more than a few days at a time.
He said she used a different surname at the request of the charity which she was working for but has made no attempt to live under a false name.
He said:"She thought if she was not away from home for more than seven nights consecutively it did not exceed the regulations. She has now found out that was an error."
Bridle, who was living at Glenville Road, Tavistock, at the time, was placed on the register and ordered to receive supervision by a Judge at a court in London when she admitted child pornography offences in 2011.
