Adam Britton: British croc expert jailed for sexual abuse of dogs

His abuse went on for years unnoticed 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.

Much of the detail of Britton’s crimes are too graphic to publish, and so “grotesque” the judge at times warned people to leave the courtroom.

“Your depravity falls outside any ordinary human conception,” Chief Justice Michael Grant told Britton, according to the Australian Associated Press.

Including time already served, Britton could be eligible for parole in April 2028. He is also banned from owning any mammals for the rest of his life.

Mr Britton’s lawyer argued his offending was driven by a rare disorder causing intense, atypical sexual interests.
