Adam Brittona 53-year-old ex crocodile expert who once contributed to the BBC and National Geographic, has been sentenced to more than a decade in prison for sexually abusing and killing dogs, among other crimes.
Britton admitted to a total of 63 charges, including 56 charges related to bestiality and Cruelty to animalsas well as four charges of accessing child abuse material, BBC News reported.
Chief Justice Michael Grant, who presided over the sentencing, called Britton’s actions “unspeakable” and “grotesque.” According to Australian national broadcaster ABC, Britton purchased 42 dogs online between 2020 and 2022, assuring their owners that he would provide them with a “good home.”
However, court documents reviewed by the BBC reveal that Britton tortured 42 dogs and killed 39 of them over an 18-month period before his arrest. Britton then filmed himself raping and killing the dogs inside a shipping container on his Darwin property, later sharing the footage via Telegram.
Britton, who was born in the UK, was arrested by police in 2022. He will be eligible for parole in April 2028 and is banned from owning mammals for the rest of his life.
