Woman had sex with dog to satisfy paedo husband's 'depraved' desires

A Haydock woman had sex with a dog to satisfy the "depraved" sexual desires of her paedophile husband, who filmed the vile act on his phone.

Mary Parkinson, 38, exchanged a string of Facebook messages with her husband Kieran Parkinson, 36, in which they discussed raping and assaulting children.

An investigation into the couple discovered a stash of extreme pornography involving women and animals on the husband's phone, along with a home-made video of Parkinson having sex with the family dog.

At Liverpool Crown Court today, October 21, Judge David Swinnerton said: "To some extent I'm satisfied that you did that because of the demands of your husband, Kieran Parkinson, who I described as depraved in his sexual interests. To some extent I think you were perhaps the victim of a toxic relationship.

"The fact that you're in that video is humiliating and embarrassing for you and I hope it's behaviour you won't ever repeat."

At a previous hearing, the court heard how Parkinson's husband had offered a young boy cash in exchange for sex, and had performed a sex act on himself while the youngster watched. He was found guilty of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and causing a child to watch a sexual act, admitted three counts of possession of extreme pornographic images, and was jailed for two-and-a-half years.

Parkinson pleaded guilty to one count of possession of extreme pornographic images in relation to the video of her with the family dog. She also admitted three counts of child cruelty after leaving three children alone in a house without food while she went to the pub with her husband.

The couple's relationship was described as "toxic", with a shared history of mental health problems and drug abuse.

Sentencing Parkinson to a two-year community order, a six-month drug rehabilitation requirement, and up to 60 rehabilitation days, Judge Swinnerton said: "This is my opportunity for you to sort yourself out. I urge you to take the opportunity to make some changes in your life."
