Couple who used Craigslist to solicit a dog for sex AVOID prison sentence (but are banned from owning animals)

  • Sarah Dae Walker sentenced to 24 months of probation on conspiracy to commit beastiality with husband Shane Walker sentenced to 18 months on same charge
  • Couple advertised for a dog for her to have sex with saying 'wife looking for K9'
  • Shane and wife's lover planned to watch as Sarah had sex with the Golden Shepherd cross-breed, police say

A couple who pleaded guilty to using Craigslist to find a dog for the wife to have sex with has been sentenced to probation in a twisted case of beastiality.

Shane Walker, 38, and his wife Sarah Dae Walker, 33, of San Tan Valley, Arizona appeared in court on Thursday to face charges of conspiracy to commit beastiality after soliciting an undercover deputy for the use of his golden shepherd in June.
The couple, who had an admitted open marriage, were arrested alongside the wife's lover Robert Aucker, 26, after the trio made plans to meet with the dog and its owner at a Mesa Quality Inn.

Sentenced: Sarah Dae Walker, 33, and her husband Shane Walker, 38, were sentenced to supervised probation and ordered to stay away from animals after soliciting a dog for sex in June

Sarah Walker was sentenced to 24 months of supervised probation with her husband ordered 18 months under the same beastiality charge.

Both are also prohibited from owning or caring for any animals.

Mr Walker, who was a flight attendant at the time of his arrest, expressed his grief over the incident that he says caused him to lose his job and has laid a sheet of embarrassment on his family.

'If I could turn back time, I wish I could, I can't so I'm trying to move forward in my life,' he told the judge according to KPHO.

His wife offered her own apology saying the embarrassment alone has rocked her.

'I think about my children every day. That is why I'm here. That is why I'm alive,' she said.
Mr Walker told the judge that his wife checked into a behavioural institute right after their arrest.

The Walkers posted a Craigslist ad on February 7 titled, 'Wife looking for K9', according to Maricopa County Superior Court records.
During a number of email exchanges between the couple and the detective, Dae offered sexual favors and they agreed to meet at the Quality Inn in Mesa, which is where they were arrested.

Court records state that Dae, a photographer, admitted to detectives she told both her husband and Aucker she wanted a dog to have sex with her.
The trio had been hoping to meet the owner of a Golden Shepherd having spent three weeks corresponding with her over the use of the dog.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said: 'People who do this for enjoyment are a different breed, that's for certain.'

Arpaio, who is known as the toughest sheriff in America over his stand against illegal immigration, said the Walkers had described themselves as 'swingers'.

According to the arrest report Aucker said he had been involved with Dae for a month and she had expressed her desire to have sex with a dog.

Last year Sheriff Arpaio wrote to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster after the arrest of two people for using the website to solicit dogs for sex.

Arpaio asked for closer monitoring of the site, but said after the latest arrest: 'I remain extremely disappointed in the leadership at Craigslist.com for refusing to do what they can to stop this.

'While they aren't doing anything to stop it, I will continue to enforce all animal cruelty laws.'
