CONVICTED (2015) | former vet Oliver Fraser Lown, born c. 1985, of Main Road, Kesgrave – jailed for having sex with a dog and a horse and having “grossly offensive, disgusting or obscene” images of animals
The court heard Suffolk Police were called to Lown’s home – a converted garage at his parents’ house – following an assault allegation by his now ex-girlfriend.
Officers took no further action over the claim, but they did confiscate computer equipment and found seven videos featuring bestiality.
Lown had a previous conviction for possessing similar images featuring animals for which he was sentenced to a 12-month conditional discharge by Northallerton magistrates in North Yorkshire in 2012.
He was struck off the UK professional register in 2014 by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) following a disciplinary hearing into his previous offences.
Sentencing Lown, Celia Dawson, JP, said pre-sentence reports showed he had a “lack of remorse” and had tried to justify his offences.
Sentence: 24 weeks in jail.
Additional Information
Lown has used the alias Ollie Fraser Henderson.
He used to be a drummer in punk rock band The 4130s but was kicked out after his conviction for animal rape.
