A man caught with extreme animal pornography, including videos depicting sexual acts with a tortoise and a horse, has been handed a six-month suspended sentence.

James Owen, 30, from Llanfechell, near Amlwch, Anglesey, had also pleaded guilty to having an indecent image of a young girl in the most serious category of child sexual abuse.

Owen told police the extreme animal pornography had been sent to him "as a joke" and he insisted he had not viewed the child abuse image.

...

They then uncovered the video images of the extreme pornography, which showed sexual acts with a horse, a dog and a tortoise.

Mr Edwards said Owen claimed not to know the animal images were illegal.

...

The court was told alcohol played a significant role in Owen’s offending and he had been undergoing rehabilitation sessions to address the problem.

I would have expected that he'd have to shell out for a huge fine.
