Adam Britton, a 51-year-old British crocodile expert, has pleaded guilty to a series of heinous crimes against innocent animals. At the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory, he admitted to raping puppies and torturing over 40 dogs at his animal shelter.
Not only that, but he also admitted to sexually abusing his own two Swiss Shepherd pets, Ursa and Bolt, for almost a decade. This is an incredibly sickening crime, especially considering that Britton once hosted broadcaster David Attenborough at his home.
The details of his crimes are so horrific that Chief Justice Michael Grant urged the public and security staff to leave the courtroom before the prosecutors outlined the facts of the case. He described the facts as ‘grotesque and perverse acts of cruelty which are confronting and distressing and which in my assessment have the potential to cause nervous shock’.
What’s even more disturbing is how Britton, a leading zoologist who has worked with the BBC and National Geographic, would use Gumtree Australia to lure pet owners into giving him custody of their beloved canines. He would then film himself torturing them in what he called his ‘torture room’, before most of them died and posting the sick material online.
He also had a ‘sadistic sexual interest’ in animals and in particular dogs since at least 2014, and would use online forums to share videos and images of his abuse. His account had 114 threads where he described how he acquired the pets and how he abused them.
It’s highly likely that Britton’s wife Erin, a wildlife ranger who met Prince Harry, was unaware of her husband’s disturbing fantasies. She has reportedly since changed her surname.
Britton was charged last year, but his name was suppressed by the courts to ensure media attention would not bias a jury against him. The order was lifted after his pleaded guilty on Monday, and he has since been remanded in custody. He is set to return to court on December 13 for sentencing submissions.
