A WOMAN has been accused of having a threesome with her husband and a Doberman Pinscher called Demon.

Christina Patterson, 42, is said to have been caught on a sick film with Richard, 47, and the dog in their bedroom.

Footage of the alleged disgusting session was reportedly found on a video after a raid by officers searching for illegal guns at the home of the kennel owners.

Christina Patterson has been charged with six counts of bestiality and six of animal cruelty following a 15-month probe in Suffolk, Virginia.

The woman is being held in the same jail – Western Tidewater Region – as her husband, who faces gun charges.

Any bestiality charges against him would be brought when the weapons case was over, police said.

A “crimes against nature” investigation was triggered in July 2017 after bestiality videos of the couple, who trained police dogs, were found on computers seized from their home, Suffolk Police Department said.

They included one with the Doberman, court files say.

Richard Patterson’s lawyer Andrew Sacks said at the time: “Number one, we believe that what two consenting adults do in private, in their bedroom is off limits.

“Number two, we don’t believe there was a valid law in place that even affected this at the time.

“And number three we seriously question the police reaching out into this type of material when it has nothing to do with what they were searching for to begin with.”

The Pattersons’ Imperial Kennels offered a facility for all breeds of dogs, according to an online site.

“We specialise in behavioural problems, obedience training, and offer protection training for Police, military, and average citizens,” it said.

“We also offer full service boarding facilities, and are AKC inspected and State licensed.”

The “sexual activity” videos were found by an Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent.

Richard Patterson has been indicted with having 17 firearms and almost 100 rounds of ammunition.

The weapons, including handguns, shotguns and military-style rifles, were reportedly shipped over state lines.

He also had 52 shotgun shells, 44 rounds of .40-caliber bullets and 10 rounds of .357 ammunition, said prosecutors.
