Hounsome pleaded guilty to inciting a 15-year-old girl to do sexual act between February and March this year, as well as causing the girl to watch a third person engaging in sexual activity.
The 24-year-old also pleaded guilty to sexual activity child after admitting sexually touching a 14-year-old girl in April.

Hounsome denied a charge of sexual assault against another complainant in May, but pleaded guilty to assault by beating.
He pleaded not guilty to two charges of sexual communication with a child relating to two girls, aged 14 and 13, between January and June this year.
The defendant admitted a charge of attempted sexual communication with a child back in July 2022, but denied a second charge dated from the following month. He also denied attempting to cause a child to watch sexual activity in August 2022.
The prosecution indicated that these pleas were acceptable and a trial would not be sought on the remaining offences.
The prosecutor offered no evidence on the remaining charges, and Judge Geraint Walters entered formal not guilty verdicts.
The defendant was remanded back in to custody and will be sentenced on December 2.
“The most likely outcome is a custodial sentence,” Judge Walters said.
He added that the defendant must now register as a sex offender.
