A teaching assistant has admitted child sex offences related to online chats with a 10-year-old.

Charlie Territt, 31, from South Bermondsey, was formerly employed as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant at Streatham Wells Primary School. 

He pleaded guilty to four offences at Inner London Crown Court: 

  • Causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity 
  • Causing a child to watch a sexual act 
  • Sexual communication with a child 
  • Making indecent photographs of children 

The allegations related to online conversations with a child in which Territt sent a video of a sexual act, London Now reports.

He initially denied the offences at a plea hearing held last April, claiming he didn’t know the person he was communicating with was a child. 

Territt was set to face trial last month but changed his pleas to guilty. 

He will be sentenced in April.
