A shocking case has unfolded in England, where a 56-year-old woman, Adriana Orme, has pleaded guilty to uploading disturbing images and videos of monkey torture to online chat groups. The crimes took place between April 14th and June 16th, 2022, during which Orme uploaded one image and 26 videos of monkey torture. Furthermore, it has been alleged that Orme made a £10 (approximately €11.70) payment to a PayPal account on April 26th, 2022, which enabled or assisted the commission of unnecessary suffering.
Orme, who resides in The Beeches, Ryall, near Upton-upon Severn, Worcestershire, will face sentencing at Worcester Crown Court on October 25th, simultaneously with her co-defendant, Holly LeGresley (37). LeGresley, of Baldwin Road, Kidderminster, had previously admitted to uploading 22 images and 132 videos of monkeys being tortured to online chat groups during a court appearance in May.
The investigation, led by the BBC, uncovered the horrific crimes of monkey torture overseas. It is appalling that such cruelty and abuse have been perpetrated, and it is essential that those responsible are held accountable. The uploading of these disturbing images and videos not only causes emotional distress to those who have witnessed the torture but also perpetuates the cycle of animal abuse.

Orme’s guilty plea is a significant step towards justice being served, and it is essential that she is punished accordingly. The co-defendant, Holly LeGresley, has already admitted her role in the crimes, and it is crucial that she is also given an appropriate sentence. The sentencing process will undoubtedly be a moment of reckoning for both individuals, and it is hoped that it will serve as a deterrent to prevent such heinous crimes from occurring in the future.
The case has sparked widespread outrage, and it is essential that those responsible for the torture and abuse of animals are held accountable. The BBC’s investigation has shed light on the dark reality of animal cruelty, and it is crucial that we continue to raise awareness about this issue. It is only through collective action and condemnation of such crimes that we can work towards a world where animal welfare is protected and respected.
