Paedophile Horse Sex Fiend Jailed for 10 Years
A depraved man caught having sex with a horse in West Yorkshire has been locked up for a decade. Julian Ridgeway, 54, was sentenced after a Leeds Crown Court jury found him guilty of animal intercourse and trespass with intent to commit a sexual offence.
Past Horror: Tried to Murder Girl Who Caught Him
Ridgeway’s twisted history goes way back. In 1990, he tried to murder a 16-year-old girl after she caught him in a “compromising situation” with her pony. The court heard he choked the teenager twice to silence her. Now, police warn he poses a serious violent risk to anyone who might catch him following his sick obsession.
Shock Details Emerge in Shocking Case
- Ridgeway was spotted leading a 13-year-old mare named Honey into a pen last year by the horse’s anxious owners.
- He fled but was pinned down by DNA evidence linking him to the animal.
- Psych reports warn he’s a continuing danger to both animals and people who might catch him in the act.
- In 2011, police found a tape at Ridgeway’s home of a man having sex with a horse, underlining his long-standing deviance.
Judge Slams Ridgeway’s “Deep-Seated” Sexual Obsession
“I am quite satisfied that you have a deep-seated sexual interest in horses and ponies that you struggle to control… You are likely to engage in serious violence against any person who finds you.” – Recorder Paul Greaney, QC
The judge warned Ridgeway would have attacked one victim if she’d been alone during his latest offence. He must now serve four years behind bars, followed by an extended six-year licence and lifetime sex offender registration. The sicko’s vile urges show no sign of stopping.
