Childcare worker to plead to sex charges

A childcare worker accused of sexually molesting 12 young boys is likely to plead guilty at his next court appearance.

Jonathan Luke Lord, 25, has been charged with 29 offences of sexual assault and indecent assault relating to boys aged from six to 11.

The assaults allegedly took place between 2007 and October 2011.

Lord's matter came before Sydney Central Local Court today when prosecutor Katherine Thompson said an agreed statement of facts had yet to be finalised.

"There has been extensive negotiations between the parties," Ms Thompson told the court.

"It's working towards a plea of guilty."

The matter has been stood over until later today.
