The Carag Carag man charged with sexually assaulting a pig while he was at work will have further mental health assessments, a court has heard.
Bradley O’Reilly, 30, faced the Echuca Magistrates’ Court for a brief mention on June 11.
Mr O’Reilly’s lawyer told the court he was seeking an adjournment “in order to be able to have some further mental health assessments”.
His lawyer said the results from the assessments would help the matter proceed.
Mr O’Reilly, wearing a black button up shirt, was supported by his family, including his father Rick O’Reilly.
Following the alleged rape, animal activists protested outside Midland Bacon.
