Ex-News of the World journalist admits phone hacking charges | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The former features editor of the News of the World, Jules Stenson, has pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to conspiring to hack phones. | |
Stenson entered his guilty plea at a case management hearing. | |
His plea follows an investigation by Operation Pinetree - the police inquiry into the features desk at the paper. | |
His co-defendant Neil Wallis, the News of the World's former deputy editor, pleaded not guilty. | |
Mr Wallis is expected to go on trial next June. | |
The trial of Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson heard that Stenson set up a phone-hacking operation on the features desk to rival that run by the newsdesk. | |
Reporter Dan Evans, who admitted phone hacking, gave evidence during their trial that Stenson employed him specifically to do "stuff with phones". |
