Bestiality charges laid

Police have charged a 57-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man, both from Southern Tasmania, in relation to two videos circulating the internet recently.

One video involved an alleged act of bestiality, the other involved inappropriate behaviour on a grave in Tasmania.

Both people have been charged with bestiality offences and an offence relating to prohibited activities in a cemetery.

They will appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court at a later date.

Police remind the public that it is an offence to possess or distribute the bestiality-related video.
