An Addenbrooke's children's doctor has pleaded guilty to a string of sexual offences against cancer sufferers in his care aged as young as 11.

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 paediatric haematologist appeared at Cambridge Crown Court today.

41 year-old Bradbury also pleaded guilty to one count of voyeurism and two counts of making indecent images of a child.

The offences involved 18 complainants, prosecutor John Farmer said. They date back to 2009.

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 will probably remain on file.

A sentencing date was not given but the judge said Bradbury could expect a "substantial" custodial sentence.
