Police described him as a 'dangerous man.'
A man has been sentenced to eleven years in prison after he pleaded guilty to child sex offences and bestiality.
34-year-old Knill Watkins, of Withington in Hereford, pleaded guilty on 4 September 2023 to a number of offences - and was sentenced on 27 October.
He pleaded guilty to offences that included possession of indecent, sexually explicit photos and animal abuse.
The offences took place between 2012 and 2021.
Detective Constable Rich Britton said: “Watkins is a dangerous individual who committed horrendous crimes. I’m pleased that he will now face the consequences for his actions and will rightly be identified as a sex offender for life and spend time in prison.
“We take all forms of child abuse incredibly seriously and I hope this result shows the effort we put into making sure children in our community are safe from sexual predators”
