Trial set for Derbyshire woman charged with multiple sex with dog charges
A Derbyshire woman facing 20 sex with dogs charges will go on trial after denying a number of offences before a judge.
Judith Button, 58, of Alfreton, is said to have committed buggery with a dog on multiple occasions between 1987 and 2004.
During a plea and trial preparation hearing at Derby Crown Court Button, of Wingfield Road, entered not guilty pleas to a number of charges.
The Alfreton woman appeared before Judge Robert Egbuna alongside another defendant - David Twiname, 73, also of Wingfield Road - who denied multiple sex offences.
Twiname is charged with 28 sexual offences, including multiple rape charges, - five of which included underage girls - possessing extreme animal porn and indecent photos of children.
His alleged crimes go as far back as 1979 - with animal porn charges as late as 2019.
It is understood Button and Twiname’s cases are linked and both were bailed pending a trial in January next year - expected to last two weeks.
