A 25yearold man was recently arrested for having sex with a cow on a farm in Dorset, southwest England. The discovery was made after landowners implemented a monitoring system following suspected animal abuse.
Liam Brown, 25, sneaked into the rural property in Burton, outside Christchurch, at night to carry out such acts. However, in this particular case, his activity was intercepted by the farm’s newly installed surveillance system. Alerted by surveillance, the owners were able to arrest Brown at the scene.
Analysis of a DNA sample from a calf confirmed that the activity occurred on June 12, 2022.
Before authorities, Brown pleaded guilty to sexually penetrating a live animal and causing inappropriate suffering to a protected animal. Poole Magistrates’ Court, which heard the case, decided to transfer the sentence to Bournemouth Crown Court given the possibility of a prison sentence for the defendant.
Prosecutor Charles Nightingale revealed that Brown was familiar with the farm’s owners as members of his family had worked there during his childhood.
“The defendant has been known to the family for many years, since childhood, due to the history of family members providing service on the farm,” Nightingale said.
The court was told Brown had no previous convictions and had not returned to the farm since the incident. The prosecutor added that “the family that owns the farm does not want your presence nearby.”
Defense barrister Harry PriceSmith agreed the case should be referred to the Crown Court and Brown was released on unconditional bail. Sentencing is scheduled for September 22nd. (With information from Web)
