But at the start of the hearing, his advocate Naomi Nelson-Cofie explained his sentencing could not go ahead due to various reasons including that a pre-sentence report was not ready.
Judge Martin Jackson agreed to an adjournment telling Holden-Baker his sentence would take place on July 25 instead.
Holden-Baker was told, due to him being in a wheelchair and the crown court being an old building, his case may be moved to either Birmingham or Warwick which had better access.
Robert Tolhurst prosecuted during the hearing at the court on Tuesday, (June 27).
