Octopus Porn Conviction

Rodney Scott McLagan from Tasmania has pleaded guilty in court to possessing over 30,000 images of bestiality and child pornography, including pictures of sex with children, horses, dogs, tigers and an octopus.

Mr McLagan admitted the offence, but defence lawyers explained that his only interest is in bestiality and the child porn was downloaded by accident in a bulk download of animal sex files. They pushed the notion that Mr McLagan was merely a bestiality aficionado, who due to low self esteem saw himself as an animal and related to sex in that manner. They insisted he is not a peadophile.

Defence lawyer David Barclay told the court that Mr McLagan searched the internet for the bestiality material but there was no active search for the child exploitation material.

“In respect of the child exploitation material while there’s a lot of it he only looked at 20 per cent,” he said.

Justice David Porter bailed McLagan to reappear for sentencing on July 17.
