Bestiality charge dropped

November 24, 2005 - 12:23PM

 

Prosecutors have dropped a charge of bestiality against a Sydney financier, who is accused of aggravated cruelty against rabbits and a guinea pig.

 

Brendan Francis McMahon was arrested in August and charged with one count of bestiality, 18 counts of aggravated animal cruelty and two counts of possessing cannabis.

 

The 37-year-old from Tamarama, in Sydney's east, is accused of the mutilation deaths of 17 rabbits and one guinea pig.

 

The dead or dying animals were found in and around his York Street office between July and early August this year, police documents previously tendered to the court allege.

 

McMahon had also been accused of committing an act of bestiality against one rabbit in the early hours of August 1.

 

But when he appeared in Downing Centre Local Court today, prosecutor Laurie Gray withdrew the bestiality charge against McMahon.

 

No explanation for the withdrawal was given to the court.

 

Deputy Chief Magistrate Graeme Henson continued McMahon's bail.

 

He will face the same court on December 16 for a hearing to determine whether he was mentally unwell at the time of the alleged offences.

 

McMahon's lawyer Douglas Marr had previously told a court his client had been suffering from serious mental health problems brought on by the use of the illegal amphetamine ice.

People use drugs as a cop out for everything don't they? How many people on here have had amphetamines and never fucked a rabbit (except Hanky) ?

Raverspec, you should apologise to Hanky for that remark.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Let's all just read that again, 'The dead or dying...in and around...office' so there were half dead animals with their arses hanging out in and around his office

[Brash]

There's no doubt that Brendan Francis McMahon is a sick puppy. I'm aware that amphetamines can make you do 'out-of-character' things but he has to be a twisted person to even think up the rabbit thing to my mind.

ok so he gets high and fucks rabbits, leaves them around his place of work and doesnt think he is gonna get caught? IMO he knew what he was doing, took the ice so his pleasure would be enhanced and was too stoned/worn out to dispose of the rabbits after he was done with them, not well i might add, they found the molested animals in and around his place of work
