Judge Michael Slater adjourned the case until February 22 to allow for the consideration of a pre-sentence probation report before sentencing and he remanded Ruff into custody.
He told Ruff: "Dale Ruff, you have pleaded guilty to these offences. The next stage in the process is for you to be sentenced for them. All things being equal that will take place on February 22 with a time estimate of 45 minutes.
“I am adjourning your case for a pre-sentence report so the court can have as much information about you and how these offences came to be committed.

“In the meantime, you are remanded you in custody.”
