YATE MAN STEPHEN D BOWES CONVICTED FOR HORRIFIC IMAGES INVOLVING CHILDREN AND ANIMALS

Stephen D Bowes, a resident of Cranleigh Court Road in Yate, Bristol, has been found guilty of possessing highly disturbing and illegal images. Born in 1971, Bowes's criminal activities came to light after authorities uncovered a collection of illicit material that included both child exploitation images and graphic depictions of animals engaged in sexual acts.

Between December 8, 2016, and November 3, 2017, Bowes was found to have created and stored images classified as Category A, B, and C, which involve children. These images depicted minors in various stages of sexual activity, highlighting the severity of his offenses. In addition to these, law enforcement discovered a particularly disturbing pornographic image that portrayed explicit and realistic acts of intercourse between humans and live animals, including reptiles such as snakes, as well as horses, goats, donkeys, and dogs.

The nature of these images underscores the heinousness of Bowes's crimes, which involve both child abuse and animal cruelty. Such material is considered among the most serious forms of illegal content, and its possession is met with strict legal penalties.

Bowes was scheduled to be sentenced on August 29, 2018. However, the outcome of his sentencing hearing was not reported at the time of the latest update. The case has garnered significant attention due to the disturbing nature of the evidence and the implications for community safety in Yate and the wider Bristol area.
