Married dad to be sentenced after admitting sexually assaulting horse at stables

A married dad-of-three will be sentenced today after he admitted sexually assaulting a horse .

Alan Blackman, 31, of no fixed address, was charged with trespass with the intent to commit a sexual offence and attempted intercourse with a horse on August 6.

Norfolk Police circulated CCTV images of a man seen at the stables in the moments leading up the attack.

Last month, he admitted the offences as he appeared via video link at Norwich Crown Court.udge Stephen Holt: "This is clearly a case where a psychiatric report would assist the court.

"You have pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity but the court needs to know more about you."

After the Norfolk Police appeal for information last month, removals man Blackman wrote on Facebook, protesting his innocence.
