Brit man acknowledges raping and abusing many animals

A British man who knows a lot about crocodiles has admitted to sexually assaulting young dogs and causing pain to over 40 dogs at his place where he takes care of animals.

Adam Britton, who is 51 years old, used to live in West Yorkshire but later moved to Australia. He confessed to tricking pet owners into giving him their beloved dogs, only to mistreat them afterwards.

In the highest court in Northern Territory, he confessed to sexually harming his own Swiss Shepherd pets, Ursa and Bolt, for nearly ten years.

A professor at Charles Darwin University in northern Australia had David Attenborough, a famous broadcaster, visit his house once.

According to the court, Britton would record himself hurting the helpless animals in a container filled with cameras. He would continue to harm them until most of them passed away. After that, he would upload these disturbing videos online.

Yesterday in court, Britton, a top zoologist who has collaborated with the BBC and National Geographic on projects, admitted to being guilty of 56 charges related to mistreating animals.

He admitted that he did the bad thing of looking at and sharing pictures and videos of children being hurt.
The crimes Britton committed were extremely terrible and shocking. Chief Justice Michael Grant asked the public and security staff to leave the courtroom before the prosecutors explained the details of the case, which is not something that happens often.

He said, “These facts are extremely disturbing and cruel. They are disturbing and distressing, and in my opinion, they have the potential to cause extreme emotional shock. ”

Many of the information about Britton’s wrongdoing are also too horrible to be made public.

The prosecutors explained in court that Britton, who allowed Attenborough to film at his place for the BBC show Life in Cold Blood, has a strong sexual interest in animals, especially dogs, for a long time.

Britton’s wife Erin, who works with animals and once met Prince Harry, recently found out about her husband’s troubling daydreams. It is said that she has now decided to change her last name.

Britton not only hurt and did bad things to his own pets Ursa and Bolt, who he made an Instagram page for, but also to dogs from pet owners he tricked through the online marketplace Gumtree Australia.

In simpler terms, the court heard that Britton used Gumtree Australia to find pet owners in the Darwin area who were giving away their pets because they couldn’t take care of them anymore. This was usually because of work or travel reasons.
If the people who used to own the pets asked Britton for news about their pets, he would lie and say they were doing well and send them old pictures.

In one situation, Britton told the owners of a big brown dog that the animal was doing well and getting comfortable.

But without the previous owners knowing, the dog had already been through terrible experiences, like being used for sex, tortured, and killed.

Britton, who was raised in West Yorkshire in the UK before moving to Australia 20 years ago, used to post videos and pictures of himself sexually abusing dogs on online forums using fake names.

On Monday, prosecutors told the court that he had an account on Telegram. He used this account to connect with people who had similar thoughts. He also had another account where he shared pictures and videos of the abuse.

He had 114 stories about how he got the pets and treated them badly.

Britton was accused of a crime last year, but his name was kept secret by the courts so that the media wouldn’t influence the jury to have a negative opinion of him.

The order was cancelled after he admitted his guilt on Monday. He has been kept in jail since that time.

He will go back to court on December 13 for the final stage of his trial, where his punishment will be discussed.
