As per BBC report, prosecutors at Worcester Crown Court said Hepburn "dehumanised" women, rating them in text messages.

The cricketer will be sentenced on Apr 30 at the Hereford Crown Court.

Bailing Hepburn, Judge Jim Tindal was quoted as saying by BBC: "There is only one sentence that can properly be handed down in this case, and a custodial sentence is inevitable."
