CONVICTED (2022) | pervert Robert Hurley, born c. 1970, of Griffon Close, Chellaston, Derby DE73 5PB – filmed his dog performing sex acts on a woman and uploaded the footage to a bestiality website.
A court has heard that after police seized the footage and charged Hurley, he told a probation officers that it was “two consenting adults” engaging in the behaviour. Now, having been convicted, he has lost his job.
In court, district Judge Jonathan Taaffe said: “To describe this matter, as you did to (the probation officer) as ‘two consenting adult behind closed doors, what does it matter?’ displays an error of judgement at best and at worst degenerate and depraved behaviour. Any right-thinking person would see the type of behaviour you videoed and uploaded, even with the consent of the other person, as some form of abuse.
“Little or no thought was given to the welfare of the animal involved and I am satisfied your attraction to depraved areas of bestiality has to be confronted full-on. It was you who videoed it and it was you who encouraged the dog to perform sex acts and then proceeded to upload the images on the website.”
Ben Payne, prosecuting, said police went to Hurley’s address on January 31, 2021, to investigate a domestic incident from which no charges have been brought. He said the defendant’s phone and other electronic devices were seized during the visit and on the phone there were 25 videos and three images. It was identified that it was the defendant on the footage and a woman and the dog was performing a sex act.
The prosecutor said: “It was a poodle and the dog was being incited to engage in various sexual acts with the female by the defendant. There was also evidence of him uploading videos to a bestiality website, which is an aggravating feature.”
Hurley pleaded guilty to possessing extreme pornographic images.
Sentencing | 40 rehabilitation sessions with the probation service; 100 hours of unpaid work; £180 in costs and victim surcharge. Five-year sexual harm prevention order.
