Kenneth Keen, 20, from Bridgnorth, had also faced charges of assault and harassment involving the two victims, who cannot be named for legal reasons.

He had denied both charges and was due to face trial at Shrewsbury Crown Court, but changed his pleas to guilty.

Judge Peter Barrie adjourned sentence until December 12 for reports, including a psychiatric report, having been told the defendant suffered from asperger's syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Keen had admitted charges of sexual activity with a teenage girl between May, 2013 and September, 2014 and assaulting the girl causing her actual bodily harm.

He had also admitted two similar charges of sexual activity with another teenager between February, 2014 and August, 2014.

In addition he pleaded guilty to a charge of harassment involving the same girl having put her in fear of violence between June and September, 2014. He had also pleaded guilty to a single allegation of distributing an indecent image of a child in September, 2104.

Keen, of Holly Bush Road, was allowed conditional bail.
