​Man caught having sex with a cow ​

A man in the UK has pleaded guilty to sexual penetration with a living animal after being caught having sex with a cow.

In June last year, Liam Brown, 25, snuck onto a farm in Burton, Dorset — in England’s south-west during the night. However, the farmers had installed a new surveillance system and caught him.

The farmers had installed the system as they grew concerned about their young livestock’s welfare. The sexual act had been proven after a DNA sample was taken from a calf.
 

Prosecuting the case, Charles Nightingale said Brown was known to the farmers since he was a child as members of his family were former employees of the farm.

“The defendant was known to the family for a number of years since he was a child as members of his family used to be employed by the farm,” he said, as reported by the Daily Mail.

“The defendant was found by members of the farming family who had concerns regarding the welfare of the young livestock in question and set up alarms in the area.

“On the night in question they were alerted by alarms and equipment they had set up with the result that the defendant was found. Subsequently, samples were taken from the animal confirming the intercourse in question.”
 

Since the incident, Brown has not returned to the farm and the family who runs it “want him nowhere near it.”

At Poole Magistrates Court, Brown broke down and sobbed as he pleaded guilty to sexual penetration with a living animal and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.

Brown faces the possibility of a custodial sentence after the case was transferred to Bournemouth Crown Court. He was given unconditional bail and the sentencing is set to take place on September 22.

Australia’s own cases of bestiality

Last month a Queensland couple were charged with five counts each of bestiality, after allegedly engaging in a series of sex acts involving dogs.

The couple, 37-year-old Crystal May Hoare and 28-year-old Jay Wade Veenstra were granted bail while being held at a watch house facility.

According to the Courier Mail, police believe that the alleged incidents involved two dogs and took place on five separate occasions from October 18 2021 to October 25 2022.

In the legal statutes of Queensland, those found guilty of bestiality face a potential prison sentence of up to seven years.
