Sheep trial
A Dutch man was cleared of having sex with a sheep because the animal could not testify.
The man - from Haaksbergen, near Utrecht - was reported to police by a farmer who caught him having intercourse with the four-legged animal.
But the case was thrown out of court because the sheep couldn’t take to the stand to testify it had not consented and had suffered emotional stress.
Bestiality is not illegal in the Netherlands unless it can be proven the animal did not want to take part.
Animal rights campaigner Jos van Huisen said: "Short of putting the sheep in the dock, at the moment these perverts cannot be prosecuted." Minister of Justice Ernst Hirsch Ballin has announced plans to change the law.
