Couple had “habitual sex” with their pet dog after becoming obsessed with bestiality

A couple who have two children habitually had sex with their pet dog after becoming obsessed with bestiality, a court has heard. 
 

Graham Marshall, 39, encouraged Paige Reaney, 33, into having intercourse with Charlie, their pet pug, as it was part of a “fantasy” that he had after watching someone have sex with a dog when he was younger. 
 

Reaney also engaged in s£xual activity with the dog while she was alone, under Marshall’s instruction, prosecutor Helen Chapman told Sheffield Crown Court yesterday, Feb. 28. 
 

The couple’s offence was exposed when police raided their home after officers received information suggesting Marshall was in possession of child abuse images. 
 

Electronic devices were seized from the couple and police analysis uncovered a number of additional s£xual offences committed solely by Marshall. 
 

This includes the creation of an indecent image involving a child and the possession of child abuse images of all categories. 
 

Reaney, of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, previously pleaded guilty to having intercourse with a dog and to a second charge specifying four occasions of intercourse. 
 

 
During yesterday’s hearing, she admitted a further charge of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, in that she subjected him to “habitual sexual activity”. 
 

Marshall was also found to have committed voyeurism – which relates to a hidden camera in a bathroom that captured footage of two adult women – neither of whom were Reaney – using a toilet. 

Ms Chapman said: “It is not clear where the toilet was where Graham Marshall chose to install a camera but it was not a public lavatory nor in some commercial premises. 

“It appears to be a residence though it is not thought to be his residence.” 

She said the device also contained images of adult women, usually of their buttocks, in public places like gyms and shopping centres. 

Ms Chapman said: “Whilst not separately charged, the Prosecution suggest that Marshall’s predilection for images of women taken in a clandestine fashion is relevant to the consideration of the voyeurism count.” 

Marshall previously pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting a female person to have sexual intercourse with a dog. 

He also admitted one count of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal and another charge of failing to ensure the welfare of the dog. 

Marshall also admitted one count of voyeurism and three counts of possessing extreme p0rnographic images relating to sexual acts involving a “dead/alive animal”. 

He also admitted seven counts of making indecent photographs/pseudo-photographs of children of Categories A, B and C and a further count of making indecent photographs of children of Category C. 

The trial continues.
