Former BBC zoologist Adam Britton, filmed himself raping and torturing dogs
(xcancel.com)https://xcancel.com/AdameMedia/status/1859347399929712843#mA crocodile expert and former BBC zoologist who filmed himself raping and torturing dogs has been jailed for more than 10 years in Australia for what a judge condemned as 'inconceivable depravity'.
Adam Robert Corden Britton was sentenced in Darwin Supreme Court on Thursday having pleaded guilty to 56 offences related to the torture and sexual exploitation of more than 42 dogs on his rural property.
The 53-year-old, who was born in West Yorkshire and earned a PhD in zoology from Bristol University before emigrating to Australia, was sentenced to 10 years and five months with a non-parole period of six years, backdated to his April 2022 arrest.
Chief Justice Michael Grant also ordered that the once-respected academic be banned from owning or having on his property mammal-type animals for the term of his natural life.
Before delivering the sentence, Justice Grant warned the public gallery that he would have to describe details of Britton's offences that included 'grotesque cruelty toward animals' and told the British-born academic: 'Your depravity falls outside any ordinary human conception'
