A Tasmanian man caught downloading images of sexual acts with an octopus has avoided a jail term.
Rodney Scott McLagan, 48, of South Arm in Hobart was caught with 31,000 images and video files involving sexual acts with children, dogs, ponies, snakes, tigers and an octopus.
Justice David Porter said McLagan had a personality disorder that caused him to avoid interpersonal contact and gave him a pre-occupation with being criticised or rejected, The Mercury reported today.
“Without the opportunity for normal sexual relationships fantasy is often indulged,” the judge said yesterday. (news)
