Court spares from prison Brisbane woman who had sex with dog 3 times after she pleads guilty to bestiality charges

A 27-year-old Brisbane woman who pleaded guilty to three counts of bestiality would not go to prison. Although Judge Terry Martin sentenced Jenna Louis Driscoll to two-and-a-half years for having sex with her dog, Driscoll was placed on probation on Monday.

Martin also suspended the two-and-a-half year prison term for trafficking of Driscoll who she required to undergo psychological and psychiatric treatment instead. The judge banned Driscoll from leaving the state without the approval of her probationary officer, Courier Mail reports.

The incidents happened in April 2014 which Driscoll says she did to arouse her partner. Her former lover asked Driscoll to send him a video of the dirtiest thing she could think of. She initially had difficulty coaxing the dog, which was hiding under her bed, out.

However, her former lover urged Driscoll to train the dog to have sex. After she complied with his order, he had sex with Driscoll, Yahoo News reports. She was actually arrested in 2014 for trafficking and on a good behaviour bond for a minor drug offence and obstructing police when cops found multiple videos of Driscoll having sex with her pet.

The judge apparently took into account Driscoll’s tumultuous life, particularly her dysfunctional childhood, in sparing her from prison and requiring treatment. Driscoll ran away from home at 16, had a relationship with a man 12 years older and began smoking marijuana at 18.

She initially worked as a waitress after she broke up with her older boyfriend but started drug trafficking. The dysfunctional relationship lasted for six years, James Godbolt, her lawyer, told the court. Because of the case’s publicity, Driscoll had to become an external student at a university due to perceived ostracism she received over the bestiality charges.
