Devon man admits possession of 850 images of people having sex with animals

A 46-year-old man has admitted watching extreme pornography during the lows of his married life.

Well dressed Richard Blackmore told police that he went through ‘highs and lows’ and when things were low he viewed porn featuring ‘deeply low bestiality’.

Blackmore, of Feniton, Devon, admitted seven charges of possessing extreme pornography between October last year and February this year involving people having sex with dogs, horses, cows, ponies and other ‘assorted live animals’.

Exeter magistrates heard police searched Blackmore’s home on an unconnected matter and found more than 850 still images and 18 movie files on two computers.

Blackmore, who has no previous convictions, was bailed to appear before a judge for sentencing and told he faces a prison sentence. NDJ
