Adam Gilbert Jolly admitted to the crimes in Wagga Local Court yesterday, with details of the horrific offences being given to the magistrate Geoff Hiatt.
He was told Jolly had abducted the girl on February 14 last year and then drove her to bushland where he undressed her before the sexual assault.
Jolly then dressed the girl and took her to a nearby street and said “you can walk from here”.
He pleaded guilty to attempting sexual intercourse with a person under 10, indecent assault of a person under 16 and sexual intercourse with a person under 10 as well as two new charges.
The two fresh charges were take with intent to obtain advantage and indecent assault.
Originally Jolly was to face seven charges, but four of those were dropped yesterday before being replaced by the two fresh charges following negotiations between his lawyer John Weir and the Department of Public Prosecutions.
The court was also told yesterday Jolly had worked for Albury brothel Centrefolds at 727 Drome Street.
He drove a car belonging to the brothel as part of his duties and that vehicle had been examined by police investigating the child’s kidnapping.
Jolly’s appearance in court yesterday via videolink from the Silverwater jail in Sydney was marred by technical problems with only his voice able to be heard.
