A pervert who carried out a "bizarre" sexual act on a baby herring gull in Sunderland has been jailed.
David Lee was captured on CCTV with a baby seagull in between his legs whilst carrying out a sex act in the early hours of August 18 last year. He then got out his mobile phone and began watching "animal porn" during the act before kicking the bird away.
The 40-year-old, who is not originally from Sunderland but lives in Roker Avenue, Roker, appeared at South Tyneside Magistrates' Court on Wednesday to be sentenced for carrying out a sexual act involving a herring gull that caused unnecessary suffering to the bird. The offence comes under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and he had pleaded guilty at a previous hearing.
