The ringleader of an international network of monkey torturers has been jailed for more than three years – but will be freed after serving just one year.
Bartosz Poklek, 30 and currently lives in Bexley Heath, led an online 'cult' dedicated to torturing and killing the animals for entertainment, and distributed 'horrific' cruelty videos which sold for up to £375 a time.
Among his cruelty and torture, he wrote scripts for how the monkeys should be mutilated, dismembered and tortured, and directed the way they would be killed, including them being clubbed to death with a hammer while wearing a nappy.
Poklek is just the latest man to be sentenced in connection with the network.

After we reported on the disturbing arrest of members of a 'monkey torture' online group we have looked into it some more and it gets worse.
A Scottish mother-of-two involved jailed for more than two years back in 2025.
Natalie Herron, 39, from Airdrie in North Lanarkshire, joined online chat groups which encouraged torture of macaques by offenders based in Indonesia.
Investigators discovered 4,000 messages on a WhatsApp group which had been sent by Herron discussing torture and hatred of the animals.
Messages included one that said: “I am shocked how easily the drill went through the skull, it was like butter.”
Another message read: “Trying to find a video where they will kill the mum and the babies watch.”
The acts of cruelty included crucifixion, machete attacks and one video that showed a baby monkey being dipped in boiling oil.

A University of Oxford lecturer is to be tried on charges of possessing indecent images of children.
Lola Salem, interestingly aged 33, was suspended by Oxford's Oriel College in June after it became aware of the charges, which she denies.
She recently dated Michael Gove for 2 years.
Three of the images are classed as category B, the second most serious category, and one is classed as category C.

We have now been threatened with legal action for our post about Gove and his ex.
We wondered why no other news outlet dared post about it.
There must be some sort of super-injunction.
Well we have no money or assets so they can sue us if they like.
What we said is factually accurate.

Michael Gove previously admitted to having a crush on Labour MP Shabana Mahmood.
The former Conservative minister said that his infatuation with the senior Labour figure stretched beyond the political.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4 listeners, Mr Gove said that he thought Ms Mahmood was “gorgeous” and “fantastic”.
He also said he spends ‘quite a lot’ of internet browsing time looking at images of her.
