It comes after Beckingham, aged 38, initially denied all of the charges she faced.

The four sex offences Beckingham, of Wragg Road, Wybourn, Sheffield, admitted relate to sexual activity against a male child.

The Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Jeremy Richardson KC, adjourned Beckingham’s sentencing hearing until August to allow for the preparation of reports.

Releasing Beckingham on conditional bail, Judge Richardson told her: “You will be sentenced by this court in August.

“Being sent to prison is always a possibility.”

Judge Richardson also told Beckingham he will look “with great interest” at the pre-sentence reports prepared on her behalf, as he formally adjourned the case.
