A man has been jailed for five-and-a-half years after filming his girlfriend having sex with a dog.
Judge Jeremy Richardson KC told Graham Marshall, 39, that he ‘wallowed in a swamp of sexual depravity’ when he used ‘coercion’ to make Paige Reaney, 33, engage in multiple sex acts with pet pug Charlie.
Reaney did retain some blame for what happened to the ‘poor, helpless creature’, Sheffield Crown Court heard.
‘The circumstances of this case are extremely disturbing,’ Judge Richardson said. ‘In a professional life in the law covering 45 years, I thought I had encountered most acts of depravity.
‘This case is perhaps the worse example of a case of its kind that I have ever come across.’
Judge Richardson said Reaney – who was sentenced to nine months in prison, suspended for two years – ‘never refused’ any of the ‘perverted’ requests from her partner.
The judge described how the pair shared pictures on TikTok.
Marshall described them as ‘so, so, f****** hot, it’s amazing’, while Reaney told him: ‘Wish I could have you right now.’
Marshall also called Reaney ‘mummy’ when talking to the dog, the court heard.
A vet found that pup Charlie would have been in distress and pain when he was forced to indulge in the acts.
The judge decided Marshall was a dangerous offender and imposed an extended sentence, with a four-year extended licence period on his release.
He told him: ‘You have wallowed in the swamp of sexual depravity repeatedly, and over a long period.’
Reaney sobbed throughout the sentencing, while Marshall sat with his head in hands, visibly shaking at times.
