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.

    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.
