HORSE SEX PERV JAILED 4 years for sick romp in stable

SICKO: Horse shagger Julian Ridgeway A SICK sex monster who shagged a horse in a stable near his home has been caged.

Julian Mark Ridgeway, 54, got four years in prison with a further six years on licence as the judge told him it was clear he was not prepared to confront his “deviant sexual history.”

Ridgeway was convicted by of trespassin­g at an outbuildin­g in Netherton, Wakefield, with intent to commit a sexual offence on May 10, last year and of intercours­e with an animal between April 18 to May 10.

The court heard he was seen leading the mare, Honey, from her stable by her owners who were keeping watch as they were suspicious something was going on.

They challenged Ridgeway who ran off but semen was found matching his DNA, indicating sex on a previous occasion.

At Leeds Crown Court Recorder Paul Greaney said that in 1990 Ridgeway was caught in a compromisi­ng position naked from the waist down washing a pony’s bottom by her owner and had choked her “within an inch of her life” to silence her.

He was convicted in 1991 of attempting to murder her and jailed for eight years.

Mr Justice Jowett said then: “You were about to behave in a disgusting manner with the pony.”

In the recent trial Ridgeway said he had no sexual fascinatio­n with horses and denied sex with Honey.

But Recorder Greaney said: “I am satisfied that you have a deep seated sexual interest in horses. There is a very high risk you will seek to have sex with a horse or pony in the future.”
