- A chef had sex with a goat - and was seen by a trainload
of passengers, a court heard yesterday.
-
- Stephen Hall, 23, lassoed the animal with his belt at
the Paradise allotments near his home.
-
- As the packed Hull to Bridlington train stopped at
signals,
dozens of passengers stared out in amazement.
-
- In seconds, police switchboards were jammed as horrified
commuters used their mobiles to report what they had seen.
-
- The female goat was one of a number left to graze near
the allotments, Hull Crown Court was told.
-
- A man out walking his dog also made a 999 call to
Humberside
Police Control Room.
-
- Two members of the public pinned down Hall while a stream
of officers raced to the scene. Jobless Hall, from Hull, was initially
arrested by the Humberside Police Dog Section.
-
- A vet who examined the goat said it was
"subdued"
by the assault but was not suffering long-term injury.
-
- British Transport Police Detective Inspector Dave
Crinnion,
who investigated, said: "I saw the goat the next day " it did
not seem too upset but it is difficult to tell."
-
- Yesterday, Hall admitted a sex charge involving an
animal.
-
- Judge Jacqueline Davies, who adjourned the case for
reports,
said: "I do not know what sentence the court will impose on
you."
-
- He is due to be sentenced on March 13.
-
- Hall, who says he is gay, said after the hearing:
"My
friends have been giving me a lot of stick. They are all joking with me
about it.
-
- "I have never done anything like this
before."
