Stockton child abuser’s sentencing delayed after mix-up
Alby Hunt was due to appear at Teesside Crown Court but was not brought before the court by video link.
The 21-year-old admitted three child sex offences after he was arrested in June this year.
His lawyer, Tom Bennett, asked the judge to adjourn sentencing because Hunt had not been brought to court.
Hunt, of Rochester Road, Stockton, pleaded guilty to sexual activity with a child, inciting sexual activity with a child and attempting to engage in sexual activity with a child.
The offences took place between May 11 and June 1 this year.
Judge Colin Burn adjourned sentencing until October 30.
Hunt remains in custody.
Hunt was previously sentenced to 20 months in prison, suspended for two years, after admitting possession with intent to supply cocaine and being concerned in its supply.
