A Borehamwood man has admitted having extreme footage of a person performing an act of intercourse with live animals.

Gary Cornhouse, of The Campions, also pleaded guilty to having hundreds of indecent images of children at St Albans Magistrates' Court yesterday (Tuesday).

The 58-year-old is scheduled to be sentenced at St Albans Crown Court on Friday, December 3.

Among the content was sexual videos of a person with live horses and dogs, as well as 18 Category A indecent images of children – the most serious type.

Court documents described the nine animal-related images and videos as “grossly offensive, disgusting and otherwise of an obscene character”.

Cornhouse also admitted having 49 Category B and 786 Category C images of children, as well as 29 prohibited images of a child, on January 17, 2019.
