The arrest follows several complaints that sheep were being molested in Botany Bay Lane, Chislehurst during May and June of this year. Witnesses had run the man off numerous times, often with him leaving his clothes behind. Forensic scientists were able to use the discarded clothing to recover DNA.

Two sheep were found dead in the fields during the time period of the attacks but the deaths have not been linked to the molestations.

The suspect is also charged with suspicion of drugs possession with intent to supply. It is still being investigated as to whether or not the sheep molester also took photos of the animals prior to the attacks.

The maximum prison sentence for bestiality in England is two years.
