A SOUTHAMPTON man pleaded guilty today to sexually abusing boys at a Jersey care home.

At the Channel Island's Royal Court, Michael Aubin admitted two counts of gross indecency and two counts of indecent assault on children under ten years old at Haut de la Garenne.

The 46-year-old cleaner, who was born in Jersey but now lives in St Denys, carried out the attacks while he was a resident at the home in the 1970s.

He earlier pleaded not guilty to three further counts of indecent assault and they will be dealt with after Aubin is sentenced on June 22.
