A pensioner has pleaded guilty to having sex with a donkey and a horse.
Joseph Squires, previously of Overpark Avenue, Leicester, was charged at Leicester Crown Court with the buggery of a donkey between February 2 and February 5, 1999, and buggery of a horse between March 15 and 18, 2004, PA reports.
The 66-year-old was due to stand trial yesterday but pleaded guilty to both charges and another two accusations of damaging property during the same incidents.
Defence counsel Amar Mehta requested that his client be released on bail and said: "The defendant does not have a stable :rotfl: address although he says his daughter can provide an address."
He added that Squires had no previous convictions and is of previous good character.
However, Judge Michael Pert QC denied the application and Squires was remanded into custody for the preparation of a pre-sentence report ahead of his sentencing on May 24.
The statement by the defence counsel made me laugh out loud :lol:
