CONVICTED (2021) | transvestite Claire Goodier, born c. 1960, of Weaver View Flats, Spencer Street, Northwich CW8 1BP – had cocaine-fuelled group sex with a dog and possessed images of the depraved act.

Lifelong pervert Goodier, a twice-convicted paedophile previously known as John Ernest Goodier, admitted five charges, including one for the possession of seven half-gram bags of cocaine.

The most serious of the charges related to one where Goodier allowed himself to be penetrated by an Alsatian dog at an unspecified location in Bournemouth on December 15 and 16, 2018.

He also admitted being in possession of 31 extreme pornographic images of a German Shepherd dog having sex with a person, which were grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character.

As well as admitting being in possession of other offensive images, Goodier also failed to comply with the notification requirements of the sex offenders register.

He pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to conduct his annual notification on November 5, 2020.

Goodier was caught after police attended her home on July 19, 2019, to carry out a routine check due to him being on the sex offenders register for life.

Officers took a laptop which contained evidence Goodier had searched the internet for bestiality content and when a full analysis of the equipment was finally completed some two years later, it emerged hidden folders contained 31 indecent images of Goodier taking part in the sex act with the dog.

Goodier told officers he had fantasised about it for a number of years and after talking about it with people in Northwich, was put in touch with others in Bournemouth.

He travelled down there in December 2018 and took part in the sex act with other people and the dog.

At the time of his arrest on June 17, 2021, police also found another pen drive in his handbag containing the same images and 3.5 grammes of cocaine.

When he committed the sex act, Goodier had also been in breach of a suspended sentence order, which had been imposed in May 2018 for failing to adhere to the terms of a sexual harm prevention order.

Goodier had also failed to comply with the terms of the sexual harm prevention order in November 2020, when he was 13 days late contacting the police after being in isolation due to Covid guidelines.

Sending Goodier to prison, Judge Steven Everett told him he agreed with the probation service assessing him as being a low risk of re-offending.

He told Goodier: “You are a long, long way from changing your life.

“You deceitfully took part in a cocaine-fuelled incident with other persons.

“Since the terrible offence took place you kept the images unashamedly for your own sexual gratification.

“In the middle of all this, you failed to comply with the terms of an order, which some might say is a minor breach, but it’s not for the first time.

“Your record is appalling and it could be said you were astonishingly lucky not to go to prison previously.

“A message must go out that if you commit such disgusting behaviour then you must go to prison.”

Goodier sobbed in the dock as he was told he will serve 20 months behind bars, which included the activation of the four-month sentence he had in suspension when committing the act.

Additional information:

The Daily Mail reports that Goodier has been sent to a men’s prison because he is not legally female.

Goodier has identified as a woman for at least two years and was referred to as Claire and ‘she’ during his Chester Crown Court case.

He has been sent to Liverpool’s HMP Altcourse, which is .a Category B men’s private prison and Young Offender Institution.

A source said: “Prisoners go to whichever prison matches their legally recognised gender.

“This defendant is in a male prison, HMP Altcourse.”

Goodier was identified in court listings under a male name but with a note added to be addressed in the hearing as Claire. A Sexual Harm Prevention Order issued is under that female identity.

The Gender Recognition Act 2004 allows people to change their legal sex and obtain a Gender Recognition certificate proving it – which is valid in prisons.
