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.

    Nobody chooses what they’re sexually attracted to.

    Understand that acting compassionately is in his own best interest doesn’t change the fact that his fantasies will likely never change.

    If he was given the opportunity to offend again without risk, there’s no reason to think he wouldn’t.
