A vet who was filmed having sex with a dog and a horse has been struck off Britain’s veterinary register. Oliver Fraser Lown, of Kesgrave, Suffolk was found guilty of five charges of bestiality by the disciplinary committee of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).
The RCVS heard that videos were found in his possession of him engaging in sexual practices with animals, as well as extreme images of animals and people, according to the BBC.
Lown graduated from Szent Istvan University in Budapest, Hungary and registered with the RCVS in 2013, but has never practiced in the UK.
In 2012, he pleaded guilty to seven criminal charges relating to the possession of extreme images involving people and animals. The Crown Prosecution Service decided not to prosecute him in respect of a bestiality charge, but the RCVS considered the charge to be proven.
Three charges related to the discovery of images or videos on a laptop and phone at his home.
A fourth charge related to a video of him engaging in sexual activity with a horse and a dog, while a fifth related to him sending messages referring to sexual activity with animals.
Committee chair, Professor Noreen Burrows, said: “The material found in possession of the respondent and his own conduct… involved the abuse of animals and a total lack of respect for their welfare.
“In the judgement of the committee, each of the charges individually amounts to disgraceful conduct and the charges certainly amount to disgraceful conduct when taken cumulatively.”
