Vincent Chan is already in prison after he admitted a series of offences last year
A former nursery worker who has admitted sexually abusing young children in his care in north London has pleaded guilty to a further 30 charges.
In December, Vincent Chan, 45, pleaded guilty to 26 charges including sexual assault by penetration, sexual assault by touching and making indecent images depicting the most severe category of child sex abuse.
At Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Thursday, Chan pleaded guilty to charges which include ten counts of taking indecent photographs of children, six of outraging public decency, sexual assault on a female, and nine counts of voyeurism.
He will be sentenced on 12 February for all offences that he has now admitted.

The new charges relate to seven women and girls.
The court heard they include filming up the skirts of girls as they sat in a classroom in north London.
The charges he admitted in December include molesting girls aged three and four while working at the Bright Horizons nursery in Finchley Road, West Hampstead, north London.
He worked there for seven years until he was suspended in 2024, after a colleague raised concerns about his activities with the children.
The whistleblower complained that Chan had filmed a child falling asleep and set the footage to music, in a bid to entertain his colleagues.
The Metropolitan Police investigation that followed unearthed Chan's collection of more than 25,000 indecent images of children.
Among them were videos taken by Chan himself as he sexually assaulted some of the children at the nursery while they were sleeping at naptime.
Police also recovered images showing him exposing himself in a classroom in 2017, as well as videos, believed to be of Chan, depicting a solo sex act.
He has also admitted a campaign of voyeurism between 2011 and 2023.
