In what will come across as a really shocking development, a man has been found out to have s*xually assaulted his daughters and even animals.

An Australian man, (name withheld) has been charged to court to face charges of s*xual abuse.

The man who is said to have s*xually abused his own daughter, step-daughter, chickens and even family dog was found guilty and has been jailed for nearly three years.

According to The Independent, the Australian man who cannot be named for legal reasons, voluntarily confessed his crimes to his ex-wife and then to police.

At court, the 27-year-old pleaded guilty to two counts of bestiality, one count of persistent s*xual exploitation of a child and one aggravated count of indecent assault.

“The abuse you admitted to was gross and disturbing,” said Judge Paul Muscat at Adela!de district court.

The court heard he abused his step-daughter, aged between nine and 11 at the time off offending, in her sleep, and his biological daughter when she was aged three.

ABC News reports that he admitted to penetrative s*x acts with chickens and attempted penetrative s*x acts with the family dog.

The court heard the man suffered abuse growing up and was “aroused by the wrongfulness of his s*xual behaviour” after having s*xual contact with dogs as a child.

The judge gave the man credit for voluntarily disclosing his crimes, adding: “You appear determined and motivated to engage in treatment and address your abhorrent and abnormal s*xual behaviours, which is imperative in order to reduce your risk of further s*xual offending.”
