A pervert has walked free from court after pleading guilty to
possessing a hoard of child and animal porn – including videos of sex
with an OCTOPUS.
Robert Peter Moore, 31, had amassed a massive collection of pornography including 35 images and 79 videos of humans having sex with a range of animals also including a pig, a goat and a horse.
Judge Colin Burn declined to view the pictures of the extreme animal porn after prosecution counsel Jeremy Hill-Baker said the images "speak for themselves".
During his mitigation at Bradford Crown Court today, Robin Frieze, for Moore, quipped: "If the prospect of a human being having sex with an octopus speaks for itself then my learned friend certainly has a better imagination than I."
Moore, who does not accept he has a sexual deviance, pleaded guilty to 14 counts of possessing child and animal pornography.
Police had also found 82 indecent images or videos of children on his hard drive ranging from levels one to four in terms of seriousness although it was accepted he had stumbled across that by accident.
Mr Frieze added: "This is an unusual case as there's been no attempt to look for child pornography.
"These images have come to him from a very comprehensive attempt to collect adult porn."
Sentencing Moore, of Long Preston, North Yorks., Judge Burn said: "This is a large collection of pornography which features some very unpleasant images.
"The basis of your plea is that you never meant to collect the child pornography.
"Possessing the extreme pornography, as it is described now, carries a sentence of imprisonment but much more serious are the images of children being abused."
Moore was sentenced to six months imprisonment suspended for two years and ordered to complete 180 hours of unpaid work.
He was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register for seven years.
Because he did not admit that he had a problem he was not eligible for any sex offender treatment programmes which are provided by the probation service.
