Sexual gratification and financial advantage motivated a man labelled by police as one of the state’s worst alleged bestiality offenders, who was arrested in a raid on his remote Mid North Coast home this week.
The sex crime squad’s child exploitation internet unit began targeting those creating and distributing child abuse material through the internet in February this year, coming across a man using the pseudonym Beast Boy online.

Police allege the profile had a large online presence and used encrypted messaging apps to share and sell bestiality material.
In their investigation, police uncovered videos showing the alleged sexual abuse of various animals including dogs, sheep, goats and chickens. One video featured a dead kangaroo.

Detectives were able to identify the man allegedly behind the disturbing account as 38-year-old Colin Baker, with police swarming a rural property in Moorland, 30 kilometres north of Taree, at 7.30am on Tuesday.
As the man was being arrested, accompanying RSPCA inspectors found a small dog on the property. Police say the Jack Russell cross named Locky was among the animals abused by the man for the purposes of creating online videos.
She was taken into “protective custody” and has been inspected by a vet, RSPCA Inspector Lachlan King said on Wednesday.
