A Mumbles man has appeared in court charged with possessing an "extreme pornographic" image of someone having sex with a dead octopus or squid.
Andrew Charles Dymond, of Dunns Lane, is also alleged to have had images which showed a person performing sex acts with horses and dogs.
The 46-year-old, who faces a total of 25 porn charges, entered a unanimous no plea when he came before Swansea magistrates.
The charge involving the sea creature states the image was of someone "performing an act of intercourse with a dead animal, namely an octopus/squid, which was grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character".
Dymond is also alleged to have made 14 indecent photos of children, as well as possessing an additional 57 images.
Four of the allegations state he had images showing an act which would or was likely to result in "serious injury to a person's breasts".
A further charge makes the same allegation but in relation to someone's genitals.
Leigh Davies, defending Dymond, said: "This is a case that's probably better dealt with in the Crown Court".
Magistrates declined jurisdiction.
As perversions go, Dymond doesn’t seem to be prejudicial as to which he (allegedly) favours and it certainly promises to be an interesting case. The relatively new provisions relating to extreme pornography are still somewhat controversial - particularly amongst civil libertarians - who feel that outside of child pornography, consenting adults should be broadly free to enter into and record their sexual antics for dissemination without restriction.
