A woman has pleaded guilty in court to bestiality, stabbing a woman with a fork and biting a child.
Jenna Louise Driscoll, 27, will be sentenced in the Brisbane District Court on Monday after admitting to a string of charges including bestiality and drug trafficking.
Defence barrister James Godbolt said his client had been affected by the public shaming of the bestiality charge and had stopped physically attending the University of Southern Queensland.
During sentencing submissions, Judge Terry Martin said the woman’s acts of bestiality with her dog were repulsive and “completely against the order of nature”.
“It rather undermines the factor of general deterrence.”
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.
Video of the bestiality was found by police following a drug investigation in October 2014.
The stabbing occurred in late December that year. The biting charges arose in 2015.
She was 24 when arrested for trafficking and bestiality, and was also on a good behaviour bond for a minor drug offence and obstructing police.
