ALI EL-ARIDI FROM FIRTH PARK INVOLVED IN SHEEP KIDNAPPING AND EXTREME PORNOGRAPHY CASE IN SHEFFIELD

 |  Red Rose Database

Firth Park Animal Abuser
In a disturbing series of events that unfolded in Sheffield, Ali El-Aridi, a resident of Firth Park, was convicted in 2019 for a series of criminal acts involving animal cruelty and possession of extreme pornography. Born around 1996 and residing at 89 Stubbins Lane, El-Aridi's actions drew significant attention from local authorities and the community alike.

According to reports, El-Aridi was filmed chasing a sheep along the scenic banks of Ladybower Reservoir. The footage, which he recorded himself, shows him pursuing the animal with apparent intent, culminating in him catching the sheep and directing a profane tirade at her. The video captured on his mobile phone reveals his callous attitude, with El-Aridi seemingly more concerned about the inconvenience caused to his boots than the welfare of the animal.

Following the chase, El-Aridi drove the sheep back to Sheffield, specifically to the Wincobank area, where he released her into a suburban neighborhood. Throughout this ordeal, he continued filming, documenting the entire process from the theft to the release. The incident, which took place in August 2018, was brought to the attention of the Derbyshire Rural Crime Team after members of the public, who witnessed the sheep being taken from the vicinity of Ladybower Reservoir, posted their observations on Facebook.

Thanks to these social media posts, the local community quickly mobilized to locate and rescue the sheep. Within a day, the animal was safely returned to her owner, thanks to the efforts of residents in the Wincobank area of Sheffield. Authorities identified El-Aridi as the individual responsible for the theft through the evidence gathered from his mobile phone.

An examination of El-Aridi’s device uncovered not only the footage of the sheep chase but also two pieces of extreme pornography. One was a collage depicting a dead cat involved in various sexual acts with a man, and the other was a video showing a horse engaged in oral sex with a man. These disturbing images and videos formed a significant part of the evidence against him.

During legal proceedings, El-Aridi admitted to the theft of the sheep and was found guilty of possessing extreme pornography. PC Andy Shaw of the Derbyshire Police’s Rural Crime Team commented on the case, highlighting El-Aridi’s blatant disregard for animal welfare. Shaw remarked that El-Aridi appeared to care far more about the mess the sheep had made on his boots than about the animal’s suffering.

In sentencing, El-Aridi received a 12-month community order, which included 100 hours of unpaid work. Additionally, he was ordered to pay £620 in costs related to the case. The incident has left a lasting impression on the local community and underscores the importance of vigilance and swift action in cases of animal cruelty and illegal possession of extreme material.
