A British man allegedly hoarded over 79,000 indecent images on his computer -- including a picture of a person having sex with a gorilla, local media reported Tuesday.
John Ridley, 32, from Northampton, central England, was arrested at his home, where police found thousands of indecent picture files on his computer, Northampton Magistrates Court heard Monday.
Among the files were bestiality images relating to several breeds of animals, including "an extreme pornographic image which portrayed in an explicit and realistic way a person performing an act of intercourse with a live gorilla," the Northampton Chronicle reported.
The majority of files were allegedly indecent images of children. Ridley appeared in court to enter no plea to 14 charges of possessing indecent images.
Prosecutor Colin McGregor told the court that the case was too serious to be dealt with at a magistrates’ court. It was adjourned for six weeks, when it will be heard at a crown court.
