AN ONLINE sleuth rumbled sadistic dog rapist Adam Britton after spotting a clue in one of his sick torture videos.<\/p>\n

The British crocodile expert, 51, filmed himself raping, abusing and murdering dogs for eight years, posting footage of the abuse online.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

The twisted zoologist posted one of these videos in March last year, when an anonymous internet user spotted something.<\/p>\n

The dog in the horror clip was wearing a distinctive bright orange City of Darwin leash, with the slogan "great pets start with you".<\/p>\n

The online sleuth contacted an animal welfare charity in the area, who then went to local police.<\/p>\n

A month after Britton had posted the sick video, cops raided his Darwin home and arrested him. <\/p>\n

In one chilling message on the site, the 'world's worst animal abuser' spoke about his urges to a stranger:\u00a0<\/p>\n

"I had repressed it. In the last few years, I let it out again, and now I can't stop. I don't want to."<\/p>\n

He plead guilty this week to the animal abuse, including charges of bestiality and rape as well as possession of child exploitation material.<\/p>\n

Britton would use websites like Gumtree Australia to "adopt"\u00a0dogs\u00a0for his gruesome crimes.<\/p>\n

He would often go to pet owners who had to give up their beloved animals because of work or travel commitments.<\/p>\n

Cops seized computers, phones, cameras, external hard drives, tools, and weapons during the raid of his home.<\/p>\n

His Telegram account had 114\u00a0threads\u00a0where he described how he acquired the\u00a0pets\u00a0and how he abused them.<\/p>\n

The twisted pet owner even shared photos of his two\u00a0dogs, Ursa and Bolt, whom he regularly abused, on his Flickr accounts.<\/p>\n

In one chilling photo, his dog Bolt was pictured as a puppy in 2015 – a year after Britton began regularly abusing his\u00a0pets\u00a0and other\u00a0dogs.<\/p>\n

The once well-respected zoologist is married to a biologist and wildlife ranger, Erin, and led a double life as he carried out the abuse.<\/p>\n

There is no suggestion that she knew anything about her husband's crimes, and she appears to have dropped his surname online.<\/p>\n

Social media posts have revealed Britton's wife even met\u00a0Prince\u00a0Harry when he visited\u00a0Australia\u00a0in 2015 and worked alongside saltwater crocodiles.<\/p>\n

Photos showed Erin smiling\u00a0next\u00a0to the\u00a0prince\u00a0as he snared a crocodile – the animal which her disturbed former husband was an expert on.<\/p>\n

She told\u00a0news\u00a0media at the time: "I was a little nervous at first when I was getting the snout rope on the croc, because Harry was observing so closely."<\/p>\n

Britton and his wife also hosted\u00a0Sir David Attenborough\u00a0at their home while he filmed the BBC documentary Life In Cold Blood.<\/p>\n

He reminisced over the meeting online in 2016: "David Attenborough, it turns out, is even more remarkable in\u00a0real life\u00a0as he is on the screen.<\/p>\n

"He's not a big fan of hero worship, so we had to rein that in, but he's just a normal, humble, down-to-Earth kinda guy who is incredibly smart and possessed of a razor-sharp wit."<\/p>\n

The British senior researcher at Charles Darwin University in\u00a0Australia\u00a0– pleaded guilty to the "grotesque and perverse" acts at Darwin's Northern Territory\u00a0Supreme Court\u00a0on Monday.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Marty Aust said Britton's crimes were too sick to be published, as he had a "sadistic sexual interest in animals and in particular\u00a0dogs."<\/p>\n
