周一，在北领地最高法院，达尔文市52岁的鳄鱼专家亚当·罗伯特·科登·布里顿被揭露是一名连环虐待动物者。
His name had previously been suppressed from the public due to the depravity of his activity, which threatened his right to a fair trial, the NT News reported.
据《北领地新闻》报道，由于其行为的邪恶程度，布里顿的名字此前一直被禁止公开，因为这会威胁到他获得公正审判的权利。
Britton pleaded guilty to 60 charges, including the torture, rape, and killing of at least 39 dogs.
布里顿承认了60项罪名，包括虐待、强奸和杀害了至少39条狗狗。
The court heard he referred to the animals as "fuck toys", raped puppies and operated a nightmarish "torture room" on his property in McMinns Lagoon, half an hour outside Darwin.
北领地最高法院获悉，布里顿将这些动物称为“性交玩偶”，在他位于距达尔文市半小时路程的麦克明斯泻湖的房产中，对小狗实施了强奸，并开设了一个噩梦般的“酷刑室”。
Chief Justice Michael Grant excused Sheriff's officers and permitted security guards to wait outside the courtroom, sparing them from hearing the full details of the heinous crimes.
首席大法官迈克尔·格兰特免除了法警的责任，并允许保安人员在法庭外等候，使他们不必听到令人发指的罪行的全部细节。
"The facts contain material describing acts that can only be described as grotesque perversity and cruelty, which are both confronting and distressing and which, in my assessment, have the potential to cause nervous shock," Justice Grant said.
格兰特法官表示：“事实陈述包含了一些只能被形容为极度变态和残忍的行为，即令人抗拒，又令人压抑，据我评估有可能会导致神经休克。”
Britton held a Ph.D. in zoology and held the position of Senior Research Associate at Charles Darwin University.
