Couple arrested for having sexual relations with dog

Three dogs and four children were removed from a home and a Bethany couple arrested after police officers found bestiality videos and evidence a girl staying with the family was solicited for sex, police said. Edward James Double, 35, and Brandy Teresa Double, 35, were jailed on Tuesday on complaints of bestiality, exhibition of obscene materials to minor children, maintaining a disorderly house, possession of illegal drugs and soliciting sexual conduct with a minor.



Both are in the Oklahoma County jail with bail set at $31,500 each. Three boys and a girl, all younger than 15, were taken from the home at 6710 NW 26 and are in state custody, Bethany Police Chief Phil Cole said. He said in his 20 years as a police officer in Bethany he has heard of only one other bestiality case, and that was more than a decade ago and involved a mentally ill man.

“We've recovered videotape of people having sex with animals,” Cole said. “It's disgusting. And we pray that none of the kids have been molested.” Two spayed greyhounds and a 6-month-old Labrador retriever were taken from the home to the Bethany animal shelter. Those dogs were not involved in the sex videos seized by police.

 

The whereabouts of the dog in the video is unknown, Cole said. The three dogs taken from the residence likely will be adoptable if police determine there is no evidence they were involved in the crimes, Cole said. Cole said video recordings were found of a couple having sexual relations with a dog. He said the recordings were made in the master bedroom of the home.
