No1 Harry Potter fan paid OWL for SEX!

WHEN Steve Anderson finally took possession of a pet owl, it was his proudest moment.

He even named it Hedwig, after the wily feathered companion of fictional wizard Harry Potter.

Steve, 35, had been obsessed with Potter ever since winning a lookalike competition at school in the late 90s.

So the unemployed carpenter was beside himself with joy when he bought the owl to keep at his rented home in Mutley, Plymouth.

Yelping

But his new companion would lead depressed Steve to his darkest moment – an hour spent before a magistrate accused of ‘ paying’ the owl for sex.

A court heard last week how he had been discovered in the bushes of a park after complaints were made about “yelping” noises in the undergrowth.

Alarmed parents alerted police, who discovered “a gentleman lying on his back on the floor with his trousers by his knees”, magistrates were told by the prosecution.

“The defendant was in a state of considerable sexual tumescence and an owl was eating dead mice tied to his erect penis, upon which the bird of prey was perched. It appears the owl had been pecking vigorously, causing the defendant to cry out in pain.”

The chair of the magistrates delayed sentence for reports but told Anderson: “By luring the owl into sexual congress with you in return for juicy morsels of mice, you were essentially paying the bird to perform a sex act on you. That adds another level of severity to the charges against you.”

Steve admits buying the owl “from a bloke in a pub” after getting drunk the day after lockdown restrictions lifted.

He told Sunday Sport: “I’d been on the cider and it seemed like a great idea.

“He wasn’t feeding well so I decided to try something different outdoors, just a game to reward him for eating.

“I really can’t remember why I ended up half naked in the bushes near the kiddies’ playground, though.

“All I know is my pecker feels like its been pecked half to death. And I’ve got a £ 500 fine and told to sign the sex offenders’ registry.”

Hedwig the owl has been confiscated and removed to a sanctuary.
