| Red Rose Database
Sunderland Animal Abuser
Bryan Mills, a man residing in Sunderland, was found to be in possession of highly disturbing and illegal images depicting sexual acts involving humans and various animals. The incident came to light when police officers executed a search warrant at his home in Argyle Square, Sunderland, and uncovered a collection of 71 images and videos that showcased humans engaged in sexual activities with snakes, pigs, dogs, and horses.
These images, described in court as “animal sex images which defy belief,” were stored on Mills' computer equipment. The material included both still photographs and moving images, all of which are classified as extreme pornography under the law. The discovery was made during a routine investigation, but the content found was particularly shocking due to the nature of the acts depicted and the animals involved.
At the time of his arrest, Bryan Mills was 46 years old. The court proceedings revealed that he had downloaded and retained this disturbing material, which is illegal and considered to cause significant harm. The case was brought before Newcastle Crown Court, where Mills pleaded guilty to the charge of possessing extreme pornography. Despite the severity of the offense, Mills was not sentenced to prison but was instead given a two-year community order, a decision that drew some criticism from legal observers.
During the sentencing, Judge Tim Gittins emphasized the damaging impact of such material. He stated, “What you must appreciate, and you don’t appear at this stage to appreciate, is although this involved adults and appears to be adults, on occasions, volunteering in this activity, the items are illegal and do untold damage, not just to the animals but to those you erroneously believe are volunteering.” The judge further explained that many individuals involved in such acts are often coerced, and the images themselves do not reveal the distress or exploitation faced by the victims, whether animal or human.
Judge Gittins warned Mills about the broader implications of his actions, highlighting that downloading and keeping such images perpetuates the cycle of harm and abuse. He underscored the importance of recognizing the illegal and damaging nature of these materials, which contribute to a culture of exploitation and cruelty. The case serves as a stark reminder of the serious legal and moral issues surrounding the possession of extreme and illegal pornography, especially involving animals.
