Worthing man referred to Crown Court after admitting to sexual abuse against family dogs, and kids

A #Worthing man has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing his family dogs, and making hundreds of indecent images of children.

Evan McClelland.

David Worcester, chairman of the bench, said: “We’ve heard that there are seven quite serious charges that you have pleaded guilty to. The offences are so serious that they need greater punishment than we in the magistrates’ court can give. Both the Crown Prosecution Service, and your defence lawyer see the seriousness as being an issue for this court. We are of the view that the crown court is the most suitable location for these charges to be sentenced. McClelland was released on unconditional bail and ordered to appear at Lewes Crown Court on Wednesday, June 16 for sentencing."

Evan was found in possession of 198 illegal sexually explicit photos of children, as well as 349 utmost sexually explicit images including a person, and a live animal.

On #January, 1st, 2021, Evan was successfully prosecuted for two counts of sexual abuse against his two dogs, both DeeDee, and Digit.

Worthing Magistrates Court did not have the legal powers to sentence Evan amid the seriousness of the crimes in which Evan has been found guilty of.

Evan was released on unconditional bail, and was ordered to appear at Lewes Crown #Court on Wednesday, June, 16th, 2021 for sentencing.

Dwayne Hards (#LCN Founder) commented on this incident, he said: "I am absolutely appalled, and disgusted regarding this incident, it is sickening, evil, illegal, cruel, and highly disturbing. This sick-minded individual needs life-imprisonment, and to be beaten by the inmates."
