A man from Kilburn has appeared in court accused of possessing obscene images of a person having sexual with a horse.

Abdulraoof Alshaye, 51, of Morshead Road, is charged with two counts of possessing an “extreme pornographic image” portraying a person in an act of intercourse with a live horse.

The alleged images are said to portray the sexual act in an “explicit and realistic way” and are described in the charges as “grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character”.

Yesterday he appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

The case has been transferred to Southwark Crown Court where he will appear on November 9.
