Rahim is represented by top lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah.
Magistrate Aizatul Akmal Maharani has allowed a short break for the defence lawyers to consult the trio.
When the court resumed hearing, all three pleaded guilty as charged.
The prosecution team include deputy head of prosecution division Mohamad Hanafiah bin Zakaria and senior federal counsel Kamaludin Md Said.
Video widely distributed
It was previously reported that several journalists and editors were shown a video clip of a man resembling Anwar having sex with a woman.
Shazryl and Rahim then unmasked themselves to be the ones responsible for the screening in a press conference two days later.
Although Shazryl said that he had the only copy of the video and that it was surrendered to the police, clips of it were later posted up on a pro-Umno blog.
It did not take long before the full 23-minute video to be posted up on the Internet.
Most recently, it was reported that the video have been mailed to politicians as well as being distributed openly in many parts of Selangor. Some were left on car windshields at shopping mall car park in Johor Baru.
