A children's doctor has pleaded guilty to sexual offences against cancer patients in his care.
Dr Myles Bradbury pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual assault and 13 counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child. He also pleaded guilty to three counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
The 41-year-old paediatric haematologist at Addenbrooke's hospital, in Cambridge, appeared at Cambridge crown court on Monday.
Bradbury, wearing a dark suit and blue tie, also pleaded guilty to one count of voyeurism and two counts of making indecent images of a child.
The offences, which date back to 2009, involved 18 complainants – one aged just 11 – John Farmer, prosecuting, said.
Bradbury was bailed and told he would have to sign the sex offenders register. He pleaded not guilty to a count of sexual activity with a child and a count of sexual assault.
Judge Gareth Hawkesworth said these two offences would probably remain on file.
A date for sentencing was not given but the judge said Bradbury could expect a substantial custodial sentence.
As he left court, Bradbury told reporters: "I'm so sorry." He refused to answer further questions.
