A COUPLE face up to 18 months in prison for having vile romps with their dog in a home-made sex chamber, court files revealed.

Fred Manzanares, 50, and Janette Solano, 48, carried out the sickening sessions with their husky Bubba in a modified caravan, according to US police.

Manzanares is said to have built a customised bench with red padding for the sordid acts in his garden.

He also allegedly used a dog hormone to arouse Bubba.

Cops said they found footage of Manzanares, Solano and their pet having sex. The couple even fought over Bubba's affections, the court papers said.

Solano told officers she was “somewhat jealous” of her partner's relationship with the dog.

The two face four counts of animal cruelty after almost a year-long probe in Aurora, Colorado.

Bestiality falls under animal cruelty laws in the state.

An investigation was launched after Solano called police to report domestic violence.

She reportedly told an officer that she was leaving Manzanares because he pressured her into having sex with Bubba.

She claimed he introduced her to bestiality after she found photos on their shared laptop, the court files show.

Solano confronted him and he told her she needed to have an open mind.

“He then spent the next six months introducing her to bestiality videos, bestiality forums, as well as providing her different literature on bestiality,” the documents say.

Ecology and evolutionary biology professor Marc Bekoff said most people would be surprised about the extent of bestiality and the people who committed it.

Sex with animals was a misdemeanour in the US because they were universally seen as property under laws and not sentient beings, he told the Denver Post.

Class 1 misdemeanors are punishable by six to 18 months in jail, a fine of $500 to $5,000, or both.

“They’re serious about their right to have consensual sex with a non-human,” Mr Bekoff added.

“It’s animal abuse. It’s a no-brainer.”
