Adam Britton: British croc expert jailed for sexual abuse of dogs
bbc.com
Adam Britton, a leading zoologist who has worked on BBC and National Geographic productions, pleaded guilty to 56 charges relating to bestiality and animal cruelty.
He also admitted to four counts of accessing child abuse material.
The Northern Territory (NT) Supreme Court heard the 53-year-old filmed himself torturing the animals until almost all died, and then shared the videos online under pseudonyms.
His abuse went unnoticed for years, until a clue was found in one of his videos. Britton was arrested in April 2022 after a search of his rural Darwin property, which also uncovered child abuse material on his laptop.

I didn't say don't put the dog part in the headline, I said put both in the headline. "He's also a pedophile" shouldn't be something that people need to keep reading to find out about.
Being a paedo is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. CSAM is illegal, rightfully so, but the CSAM videos weren't produced by him.
The amount of suffering produced directly by Britton vastly outweighs the suffering he caused by potentially redistributing the CSAM videos.
Most parents would disagree with you about people who sexually abuse children being inconsequential.
Within the context of what I'm saying, Britton didn't film the CSAM videos. Making CSAM and possessing it are very different in terms of suffering produced.
Sharing CSAM potentially encourages the creation of more, and further objectifies the victims without consent which is obviously abhorrent.
But however abhorrent this is, it is inconsequential compared to the suffering Britton inflicted directly.
Even still, I will reiterate, the direct experience of those poor dogs is leagues more horrific than your average child molestation. If you disagree, you evidently don't know exactly how fucked up Britton was and/or have a species bias.
Why? The term itself has become almost totally devalued after a decade of conservatives labeling everyone with it. When I see the word now I just think it identifies the information as clickbait or propaganda.
Because it's a fact. You know, the thing the news is supposed to report on.
It does report on that. It just didn't put it in the headline.
That is my point, yes.
