A former primary school teacher and college lecturer has
today admitted a string of sexual assaults against two young boys including
raping one who was just seven years old.
Lloyd Dennis, 33, who taught at a number of primary schools
in the Hampshire area before becoming a college lecturer in Basingstoke,UK,
engaged in a number of sexual activities with the two children over a number of
years.
Appearing at Southampton Crown Court today, he admitted 10
sexual offences against one of the boys including two counts of raping the
youngster.
The offences occurred between September 2013 and November
last year, when the victim was aged between seven and eight.
Dennis' second victim was indecently assaulted by the former
teacher in the late 1990s, the court heard.
The former teacher hung his head in shame as he was told he
will be sentenced in November for 20 charges in total, including possessing
indecent images of children and extreme animal porn.
He also admitted a sexual assault charge by touching the
child indecently and assault by penetration.
In addition, Dennis, of Eastleigh, Hampshire, admitted two
counts of sexual activity with the boy.
In relation to the second victim in the late 1990s, Dennis
admitted one count of indecent assault and a further count of indecency with a
child.
Originally he denied these two charges and was due to stand
trial over them, but changed his plea today.
Dennis also admitted four counts of making indecent
photographs of a child and three counts of possessing indecent images.
He also admitted a further charge of possessing an extreme
pornographic image.
Judge Nicholas Rowland told him: 'Your case will come back
on November 5 for sentencing and a pre-sentence report is being ordered to
consider the question of dangerousness.'
Kerry Maylin, prosecuting, said Dennis' level of offending
was 'clearly very serious', adding: 'It's all the more serious considering the
age disparity.'
In relation to the more recent victim, Dennis admitted two
counts of rape and four counts of causing or inciting the boy to engage in
sexual activity.
