Canterbury Crown Court
Canterbury Crown Court

A Canterbury woman is facing a maximum 16 month jail sentence... after having sex with a dog.

Tracy Woolridge, 45, was arrested after police found illegal images at the home of a Canterbury man.

Woolridge, of Downs Road, pleaded guilty to two charges of intercourse with an animal but initially denied sexual activity with a child.

Her barrister Alex Rooke asked a judge at Canterbury Crown Court for a "Goodyear" indication as to the probably length of sentence for a guilty plea.

Judge Adele Williams told her she faced a maximum of 16 months in jail for all three offences - and Woolridge then changed her plea to guilty for child sex activity.

In the dock next to her was Gary Underhill, 35, of Duck Lane, Canterbury, who admitted 10 charges of possessing and taking more than 200 indecent images of children

He also pleaded guilty to seven charges of possessing extremely pornographic images involving animals.

Underhill also admitted three counts of aiding and abetting Woolridge to have sexual activity with a child and animals.

The court heard that police found the illegal photographs and movie images at Underhill's home - which then led officers to raid Woolridge's home.

The judge ordered psychiatric and probation reports prior to sentencing them in November.

Both were remanded in custody.
