Woman, 33, faces jail for having sex with pet dog with partner's help

A woman faces jail after confessing she repeatedly had sex with a dog - with her partner's assistance. 

Paige Reaney, 33, from Sheffield, pled guilty to having intercourse with the pug, named Charlie, on four separate occasions.

However, she denied possessing extreme pornographic images of 'intercourse or oral sex with an animal' during a brief hearing at Sheffield Crown Court on Thursday.

The incidents took place between August 2019 and December 2022, the court heard. 

Her partner, Graham Marshall, 38, previously admitted helping Reaney have sex with a dog.

An earlier hearing heard how he and Reaney caused unnecessary suffering to a dog called Charlie by 'regularly subjecting him to habitual sexual activity'.

And in October, Marshall pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting a female person to have sexual intercourse with a dog.

He also pleaded guilty to one offence of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal, namely regularly subjecting him to habitual sexual activity including 'inappropriate physical handling of the dog'.

Marshall also he admitted another offence of failing to ensure the welfare of the dog in that he 'failed to protect him from pain and suffering caused by habitual sexual activity'.

Marshall also pleaded guilty to one count of voyeurism and three counts of possessing extreme pornographic images relating to sexual acts involving a 'dead/alive animal'.

He further admitted seven counts of making indecent photographs or pseudo-photographs of children of Categories A, B and C.

But Marshall pleaded not guilty to one count of making indecent photographs of children of Category C. Category A is the most serious.

He is set to come back before the court on December 12 for a further hearing.

Ms Reaney faces up to two years in prison for the offence.
