Wales, September 20: In a shocking case, a 30-year-old man, resident of Llanfechell, Anglesey in the UK, has pleaded guilty to possessing extreme porn videos of sexual acts on a tortoise, along with an image of a most severe child sexual abuse. At Caernarfon Magistrates' Court on Thursday, September 19, it was revealed that his electronic devices contained multiple pictures and videos of sexual acts against a live animal. Although out on bail Owen has been ordered to register himself as a sex offender.
According to a report by BBC, the case against the accused, identified as James Owen, unfolded following a Metropolitan Police investigation into another paedophile. During this inquiry, authorities discovered that Owen had received a category A photograph depicting severe child sexual abuse. This revelation prompted law enforcement to investigate Owen’s activities, leading them to his home, where they suspected more illicit content might be present. The investigation's disturbing findings highlighted the troubling connections between online abuse and animal cruelty.

Police seized several items, uncovering four images and 24 videos that depicted sexual acts committed against a tortoise. The court heard that these materials were not only extreme in nature but also raised serious concerns about Owen’s behaviour and intentions.

Following his guilty plea, Owen was informed that he must register as a sex offender. The court scheduled his sentencing for October at Caernarfon Crown Court, where he will face the consequences of his actions.
