Woolley, aged 45, admitted all four charges when he appeared at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court.
Pars Samrai, mitigating, agreed that any potential sentence was beyond the magistrates’ sentencing powers.
He asked for a probation report to be prepared before the defendant is sentenced, because he has no previous convictions.
He was granted unconditional bail to appear at Nottingham Crown Court, on August 2, and a pre-sentence report was ordered by magistrates.
