An ex-ZRP cop and father of-three was arrested after having been caught with indecent videos of animal to human footage.
Clayton Chigoya who was found with videos of men having sex with large fish and eels was yesterday waiting to discover his fate.
Detectives swooped on the social worker’s home after receiving a tip-off he had received indecent images of children on his mobile phone.
A total of 19 electrical devices were seized including a damaged HTC phone which contained 404 videos on its memory card including seven portraying sex acts with animals.
Other examples of horrific pornography included two sexual scenes with children believed as be as young as three years old.
A jury at Reading Crown Court was told that the extreme pornographic videos portrayed various sex acts with animals including a horse, eels and a large fish.
Prosecuting, Russell Pine told the court two of the animal sex videos had also been forwarded on to other numbers from Chigoya’s phone.
Mr Pine added: “You were part of a group of people who had a similar interest in these sorts of videos weren’t you?
“Is it possible you watched them and thought they were a little interesting and maybe a little bizarre but no harm in it?”
Bald Chigoya, aged 47 years, denied five counts of possessing extreme pornographic images and two counts of possessing indecent images of children.
The father-of-three, of Gatwick Close, Slough, Berks., claimed that he had never seen any of the seven the videos, which were sent through WhatsApp messages.
However, he did admit he had previously watched animal porn films but blamed his faulty phone for receiving and sending messages he claimed he had no idea about.
He said: “They were sent on my WhatsApp. When I saw them, I deleted them but not on this particular phone we are talking about.
“I have never in my life requested any videos with animals. It is not because you want to watch it or request it, it is just sent around.”
However, the jury found Chigoya guilty of all of all seven counts following the three-day trial.
Chigoya, who was suspended from his job working with vulnerable adults and children as a social worker following his arrest, was released on bail to appear at the same court to be sentenced in May.-Express.co.uk
