A woman from Worcestershire has admitted posting 132 videos and 22 photos of monkeys being tortured to online chat groups.

Holly LeGresley, from Kidderminster, pleaded guilty to separate charges of publishing obscene articles and intentionally encouraging animal cruelty.

The 37-year-old was charged - along with another woman who didn’t indicate a plea - after an investigation by a broadcaster into the torture of monkeys overseas.
