A 51-year-old man accused of sending a string of text messages and kissing a teenage schoolgirl insisted he had no sexual intentions towards her, a jury heard.
Andrew Marshall, of Newborough, Anglesey, denied meeting a child following sexual grooming.
He then pleaded guilty after the prosecution opening and was bailed for sentencing next month.
Outlining the case at Caernarfon crown court, prosecutor Myles Wilson alleged: "He began grooming a 14-year-old girl for a sexual relationship.
"He would invite her to his house, give her money and gifts, and he would send her text messages referring to her as my girl and as a minx."
The barrister said: "All of this was kept secret from her family."
Marshall, he said, wrote in one text: "Hope you are OK, wish I could kiss your chest better."
He'd also allegedly told the girl to view a porn website.
Police launched a probe after her mother found a birthday card under the teen's bed.
The jury heard it was signed: "My special girl, love you always Andy."
