Adam Britton: British croc expert jailed for sexual abuse of dogs
Adam Britton pleaded guilty to 60 charges, which also included four counts of accessing child abuse material.
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.
He also admitted to four counts of accessing child abuse material.
This seems like it should have also been in the headline.
i mean sure looking up that shit is bad but fucking dogs to death is worse i think
It's weird how often headlines bury that lede. Happened a lot with that Dutch volleyball player too. Headlines would never call him a child rapist. That's what he did yet never in the headline.
On a technicality, as in the end he wasn't convicted of that under Dutch law because rape (back then) required violence. Any newspaper directly calling him a child rapist opens themselves up to a possible lawsuit.
The sentence was adjusted in line with Dutch law, and the charge of rape was substituted for one referring to ontucht ("sexual acts that violate social-ethical norms").[21][22] After serving 13 months of his original four year sentence, he was released from prison.[17] Until 1 July 2024, Dutch law only recognised rape if force was involved.[23]
Unless he paid for it I don't see how the two things are remotely equivalent. I'd take someone having thousands of vile images on their computer over someone who abused a child or animal even once.
10 years!?! This psychopath deserves life in prison, and nothing less.
I've been following this case for almost two years, the sick fuck did this in my home town.
The degree of pain this cunt inflicted is disgusting. I regret reading the detailed description of the 1B9P video, it made me sick.
To give this piece of shit the opportunity to reenter society, and potentially torture other animals, is unacceptable. 10 years doesn't cut it.
A Reddit user said:
Which about sums it up.
Both child abuse and animal abuse are treated far too leniently by the law. This guy should never be released.
So he's a massively gross pervert and an expert on croc footwear?
"He tortured at least 42 dogs, killing 39 of them, according to court documents seen by the BBC"
This is beyond being a pervert. This is a fucking serial killer. He tortured and killed the dogs in a shipping container on his property, and fed them to other animals.
The video that got him caught involved torturing 8 puppies.
This is what one should expect from someone obsessed with crocs.
"Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two people"
shows a picture of a massively gross pervert and an expert on croc footwear
cuts away "they're the same people"
Croc-wearing gross pervert
No, you're thinking of this guy:
woa and the summary does not even get into the general description of what he did that sounds so bad I don't want any details. I want to hit I need to take a half day in chat and then take tomorrow to.
I've read a more detailed summary than what is currently available by doing a search.
It actually took me a week to read the description though, I just couldn't process how someone could be this sick.
I regret knowing the details, I am sick with anger whenever I think about Britton.
To know it happened in my hometown makes it so much worse to me.
IT IS A FIGURE OF SPEECH, ADAM! CHRIST!
56 counts?!
Wtf
Say what now?!
He really loves dogs. Adam should be put to sleep.
What was the clue?
RTFA
Britton usually went to great lengths to avoid identifying himself or his location in his videos, but in this one a bright orange City of Darwin dog leash could be seen in the background.
Capital punishment imo
Yeah this is worse than pedophilia.
He'll be dead soon, scum like that dont last too long in prison. Maybe a gofund me for someone's commissary to grease the wheels.
