A teenager from Douglas has today (Tues) admitted having unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl.
Eighteen year-old Martin Furlonger, originally from Liverpool who now lives in Loch Promenade, entered guilty pleas to four counts.
He has been committed to a court of general gaol and will be sentenced on October the 10th.
An earlier court heard the defendant met the girl during the summer holidays and entered into a sexual relationship in August, despite being aware of her age.
