Dean Beer 58

Description

A sick Staffordshire dad has been jailed after filming himself having sex with his pet dog. Dean Beer , 56, had started a 'sickening' conversation about bestiality on Facebook Messenger when he committed the vile act, a court had heard.

In the messages, he was encouraged to record himself sexually abusing the dog before sending it on. The disturbing footage was uncovered when the police went to his home after receiving information from the National Crime Agency about the uploading of an indecent image.

Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard the defendant had searched the term 'dog porn' six times. The court also heard his phone contained two inaccessible category C photos of young girls aged between 13 and 15 and extreme pornographic images of women having penetrative sexual activity with dogs and a horse. Now Beer, formerly of Stoke-on-Trent, has been jailed for nine months after he was described as having an 'unhealthy and depraved interest in bestiality'.

Prosecutor Maria Brannan said: "A Land Rover mobile phone was recovered. It contained two inaccessible category C images featuring girls aged between 13 and 15; three accessible extreme pornographic images and six still and two moving images of adult females having penetrative sexual activity with dogs and a horse.

"The search term 'dog porn' was used six times. The conversation was found on Facebook messenger between the defendant, 'Taffy Dean', and a person who has not been arrested.

"The conversation concerned sexual abuse of the defendant's dog. The other person encouraged the defendant to film himself performing a penetrative sex act on his dog. The defendant did the act and sent the film to the other person."

The prosecutor said police received information from the National Crime Agency and officers attended the defendant's home in Stoke on Trenton July 21, 2020. Beer, now of Wentloog Close, Cwmbran, Wales, pleaded guilty to possession of indecent images of children; possession of an extreme pornographic image; intercourse with an animal; and publishing an obscene article.

Andrew Molloy, mitigating, said the defendant, who has no previous convictions, has now lost his good character. Mr Molloy said: "He is quite embarrassed about his conduct. He says it is out of character for him to behave in this way.

"It is almost two years since and he has not been involved in any trouble. He has self-referred to a mental health institution and is engaging well."

He said the defendant no longer has the dog and urged Judge David Fletcher to suspend the sentence. But the judge said only an immediate jail sentence was appropriate, reports StokeonTrentLive.

Judge Fletcher said: "The exchanges on Facebook were some of the most sickening exchanges I have ever had to read about and deal with. You are someone who had an unhealthy and depraved interest in bestiality. Penetrating your own pet dog with your penis is as shocking as it is depraved."

Beer was made the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and was placed on the sex offenders' register for the same period. The judge ordered the forfeiture and destruction of the phone.
