British crocodile expert jailed for 10 years for sexually abusing dozens of dogs | World News

A British zoologist has been jailed in Australia, after pleading guilty to raping and torturing dozens of dogs in abuse that spanned decades.

Adam Britton, who grew up in West Yorkshire before moving to Australia, pleaded guilty to 56 charges relating to bestiality and animal cruelty.

The 53-year-old also admitted to four counts of accessing child abuse material.

‘Your depravity falls outside any ordinary human conception,’ chief justice Michael Grant told him, after asking the public to leave the court because of how ‘graphic’ the details of his atrocities are, according to the Australian Associated Press.

Northern Territory Supreme Court heard the crocodile expert admitted to luring people to give him custody of their pets before abusing them.

He had filmed himself torturing the animals until almost all died. He uploaded the videos online under pseudonyms.

Britton also admitted to sexually abusing his own Swiss Shepherd pets, Ursa and Bolt, for almost a decade.
