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.
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.
