A man faced a Sydney court today charged with having sexual intercourse with a rabbit and the sadistic killing of 17 other rabbits whose carcasses were found dumped in a lane in The Rocks.

Brendan Francis McMahon, 36, of Edward Street, North Sydney, appeared briefly before Central Local Court Magistrate Allan Moore today charged with having allegedly committed the offences over the past three weeks.

McMahon, a New Zealand born finance company director, sat quietly in the dock during the hearing at which he was represented by Barrister Doug Marr.

No plea was entered to a total of 21 charges laid by The Rocks Police against McMahon, a business partner with Jason Meares, the former brother-in-law of James Packer.

McMahon, a former Cleo magazine Bachelor of the Year winner, was arrested by detectives from The Rocks Police at a house in Tamarama early today.

The investigation began after skinned and partially-skinned dead and dying rabbits began to appear in a laneway off York Street, near Circular Quay in late July.

Before McMahon was charged Rocks Police alleged some of the rabbits had been thrown from some height into the laneway.

In addition to 17 rabbits, police also found a dead guinea pig in the lane.

Alarmed at the continuing discovery of freshly killed rabbits, some whose genitalia had alleged been mutilated, the Rocks detectives began contacting city pet stores to determine who had been buying rabbits.

Police allegedly found that a credit card in McMahon's name had been used to purchase the animals at a number of pet shops. Police also seized a security video showing a man buying a pet.

In all McMahon was charged with 17 counts committed acts of aggravated cruelty upon an animal between July 20 and August 11.

He was further charged with committing an act of bestiality with an animal between 3am and 4am on August 1,.

McMahon was further charged with two counts of possession of cannabis.

His barrister, Mr Marr, told Mr Moore that McMahon would not be applying for bail today but would make a formal application next Friday, August 19.

Mr Moore formerly refused McMahon bail and ordered him to reappear before the court via a prison video link next week.
