NEWS AND COMMENT: Bestiality videos are obviously pornographic videos. This 29-year-old veterinarian, Oliver Lown, was found to be in possession of videos and images involving bestiality. The man was trained as a veterinarian in Hungary. He had never practised veterinary medicine in the UK, as I understand it. Police officers seized a number of items including laptops, hard drives and DVDs belonging to Lown containing the pornography.
The items were analysed and bestiality videos and images found. Oliver Lown first appeared in South-East Suffolk Magistrate's Court (Ipswich) on January 15 where he was sentenced to 24 weeks in prison. The sentence started when he returned to court early in February as reported on 9 February.
On his return to court, his solicitor said that he had committed a possession offence and not a distribution offence and the quantity of material was quite low. The defendant also disclosed to the court that he had been sentenced to a conditional discharge for a previous offence and that he had been struck off by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.
Lown was given credit for his admission and entering a guilty plea but apparently he lacked remorse according to the reports. The images and videos were classed of extreme pornography by the judge under the law and he was sentenced to 24 weeks for each of the offences.
Comment: it is the first time that I have read a story about a veterinarian in the UK being convicted and punished for the possession of bestiality videos which is why I am reporting the news here.
It was first reported in the news media in early February.
