But he was arrested last December after an incident in Nantwich, Cheshire, and  later  charged with four counts of assault by beating.

He had denied the accusations and was  due to face trial at Chester crown court but changed his pleas to guilty.

Adjourning the hearing for pre-sentence reports, judge Recorder Michael Hayton KC was told  a further charge of sexual assault would lie on file.

All the charges involve the same woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons.

The officer, who is suspended from duty, is to  be sentenced on July 29.
