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.
Um, I think its kinda justified given the number of blatant and open pedos I’ve encountered in Europe. (And I have no clue why they feel the need to talk to me about it.) Something I’ve never encountered in the US. Not saying pedos don’t exist in the US, but at least the US culture is such that they’re more quiet about.
Also Wtf:
“A few years later, Germany’s newly established Green Party, which brought together antiwar protesters, environmental activists, and veterans of the student movement, tried to address the “oppression of children’s sexuality.” Members of the Party advocated abolishing the age of consent for sex between children and adults.”
Having a culture where people aren’t safe to seek medical or therapeutic support to get help with dealing with their psychiatric or mental issues isn’t helpful. It seems like it would be better for people to be open and admit they’re attracted to minors and get help with it rather than keeping it a secret. Not to mention the fact that none of this comment has anything to do with my point, unless you think that a person having a couple completely innocent nude photos of their kids means they’re a pedophile.
The whole damn world has an insane moral panic going on about child abuse and it’s extremely unhelpful for actually dealing with the issues that cause it or dealing with the consequences. I say that as a survivor of sexual abuse as a child. I felt basically unable to speak to anyone about it because of all the stigma around it.
Having a culture where it is not discouraged is worse.
It is not told to me out of “seeking to recover” intent… It is out of either seeking others into it, or hoping I was minor.
Nah usually not, but sometimes they are. I was just talking more generally.
That sucks, but the stigma I’m advocating is directed at the perpetrators, not the victims.
