Scott Robert Fitzgerald appeared in the Royal Court on Friday, where he admitted three child sex offences, including ‘sexual touching’, and possessing indecent images.
Fitzgerald was represented by Defence Advocate Luke Sette who entered ‘guilty’ pleas on behalf of his client.
As a result of Fitzgerald’s admission of guilt, Royal Court Commissioner Julian Clyde-Smith, presiding, informed the defendant that he is now subject to notification requirements under the Sex Offenders’ Law.

The Commissioner also informed him that the minimum number of years before Fitzgerald could apply to be taken off the Sex Offenders’ Register would be set on the day of his sentencing.
Advocate Sette made an application for his client to undergo a psychological and psychiatric evaluation before he is sentenced.
Crown Advocate Emma Hollywood, appearing for the prosecution, asked that the case be adjourned for one week to set a sentencing date and Fitzgerald was taken back into custody until next Friday’s Court session.
