The court heard from prosecutor Owen Beale that the 62-year-old had assaulted a woman by beating in an incident in Hereford on May 22.
The case was adjourned for a pre-sentencing report to be carried out by the probation service and Ball, of Washington Street, Birmingham, was released on bail with a condition banning him from entering Herefordshire except to attend court or for pre-arranged appointments with his solicitor.
He will appear before magistrates in Hereford for sentencing on October 10.
