Woman’s ex-partner urged her to train dog to have sex with her
A Brisbane woman was encouraged to have sex with her pet dog by her ex-partner who had asked her to send him video of the "dirtiest thing" she could think of.
Jenna Louise Driscoll admitted to having sex with her dog in what she said was a bid to "arouse" her partner.
On Monday she walked free from court after pleading guilty on Friday.
Charges against her included bestiality, drug trafficking, stabbing another woman with a fork and biting a child two separate times.
Driscoll told the court her life had been ruined by the allegations which included having sex with her dog three times in 2014.
The court heard her ex-partner called her “dirty s***t” and repeatedly slept with her after she had sex with the animal.

Her lover had asked her to send him a video of “the dirtiest thing” she could think of in March, leading her to again “engage in sexual acts with her dog”.
Driscoll, 27, sent her ex-partner photos and video before telling him the dog was hiding under her bed and she was unable to coax him out.
“He won’t do it, I can’t get him to do it, what’s wrong with me?” she said, according to the facts.
It was claimed her ex-partner urged her to train the dog to have sex with her.
“I’ll never stop wanting you to do this type of stuff,” he told her.
Driscoll was 24 when she was arrested for trafficking, and already on a good behaviour bond for a minor drug offence and obstructing police at the time.
It was while police were investigating Driscoll's drug trafficking that officers came across multiple videos of the sex acts with her dog.
The court was told Driscoll ran away from home when she was 16, started a relationship with a man 12 years her senior and started smoking cannabis when she was 18.
The waitress started trafficking after breaking up with her partner, and had at least 15 regular customers, six suppliers and a phone purely for the purpose of drug deals.
Judge Terry Martin said Driscoll's actions were “against the order of nature”.
On Monday Driscoll held back tears when she was handed a probation order.
“Your conduct in the bestiality offences was repugnant,” Judge Martin said.
Driscoll was given a 2.5-year probation for the three counts of bestiality and a suspended 2.5-year jail term for drug trafficking.
Judge Martin gave little weight to defence barrister James Godbolt's claim about a sentence reduction because of her public shaming.
"The adverse publicity is a direct consequence of your unlawful conduct, and you can hardly be heard to complain about that," the judge said.
"An extract from the psychologist's report suggests you are more sorry for yourself," Judge Martin told Driscoll.
"The psychologist then purports to quote you: 'This has ruined my life, I very much regret what I have done.'"
Driscoll must now undergo psychological and psychiatric treatment during her probationary period and cannot leave the state without permission.
