Aurora, Colorado: A couple out committed that they had sex with a dog in the backyard of their trailer home.
49-year-old Janette Solano pleaded guilty to one count of animal cruelty, and 51-year-old Fredrick Manzanares pleaded guilty to 2 counts of animal cruelty.
Bubba, a male Akita mix dog, was sexually abused by the couple, and he had to be euthanized due to the aggressiveness he showed towards other people.
The dog initially stayed at the Aurora Animal Shelter after the pooch was saved from the horrible couple.
A standard behavioral assessment was done on Bubba after the sentencing of the couple.
The Aurora couple was reported to the police for having sex with their pet dog in the backyard of their trailer home.
According to the Denver Post, the backyard of the couple was converted into a sex chamber.
The couple was arrested by the police earlier this year for cruelty to animals.
Manzanares was sentenced to serve 6 months in prison and will stay in supervised probation for 2 years.
Janette, the girlfriend, got a 2-year deferred judgment and sentence. This means she will only serve time in jail if she violates the terms of her release.
During the sentencing, Judge Cheryl Rowles-Stokes talked about the condition of Bubba.
The judge said, “This dog cannot safely be adopted.”
The judge added, “This dog cannot safely be transferred. This dog cannot recover.”
Jenee Shipman, the manager of the Aurora Animal Shelter, said, “The dog has exhibited unpredictable behavior and shows signs of aggression towards veterinary services staff, volunteers, community service workers, and staff members that the dog is not especially familiar with.”
She added, “It is my opinion this dog is not a safe adoption candidate or transfer candidate based on the history, kennel behavior and continued increase in aggression observed daily.”
Authorities also found footage of the couple having sex with bubba after they were called in to respond to a domestic violence incident.
Solano called the police last year after an argument with his boyfriend.
She told the police that she was leaving Manzanares because he pressured her into having sex with their dog.
Manzanares used a hormone spray to arouse Bubba and would film them having sex with their own pooch.
Manzanares also created a customized red padded bench in their motor home to make it easier to have sex with the dog.
