An Australian academic and crocodile expert subjected dogs to torture and rape before finally killing them over a period of years, while also recording many of his sadistic acts on camera.

Adam Robert Corden Britton, 52, pleaded guilty in the Northern Territories Supreme Court on Monday to 60 charges related to bestiality, and possessing, accessing and transmitting child abuse material, News Corp Australia reported.

His identity had previously been hidden as prosecutors believed the depraved nature of his crimes could threaten his right to a fair trial.

The nature of his crimes also led the chief justice to excuse the security officers from the courtroom when the facts were being put on record, reportedly to spare them from hearing the disturbing and graphic details of Britton’s acts.

“The facts contain material describing acts that can only be described as grotesque perversity and cruelty, which are both confronting and distressing and which, in my assessment, have the potential to cause nervous shock,” Justice Michael Grant said in court on Monday.

A prosecutor told the court that Britton had been sexually abusing his dogs since 2014, and described him as a person with a sadistic sexual interest in animals.
