A vile paedophile husband and his wife have been unmasked in a lurid case that has shaken the nation. Daniel Rochford, 43, and Jennifer Rochford, 42, from South Wibble, Lancashire, indulged in sick bestiality acts with their pet dogs — all caught on camera. The depraved pair also hoarded thousands of disgusting images of child abuse and extreme pornography, a court heard.
Grotesque Stash of 3,000 Extreme Porn Pics
At Preston Crown Court, shocking details emerged of the couple’s twisted collection: over 3,000 extreme pornographic images including bestiality and child abuse. Daniel alone had 2,180 twisted snaps of bestiality and 165 images of child abuse, 92 of which were the worst Category A kind.
The depravity didn’t end there. Rochford was also found guilty of raping a schoolgirl, sexually abusing her, and forcing another child to watch vile pornographic material.
Horrific Footage Reveals Twisted ‘Delight’ in Bestiality Acts
The court heard Daniel filmed his wife Jennifer abusing their dogs sexually in their flat, with the pair taking “sexual delight and pleasure” from the sickening acts.
Judge Guy Mathieson said: “The footage and commentary show exactly how much sexual gratification you both derived from these acts. It is sickening.”
The judge harshly branded Daniel a predator who thought he could “do what you want, when you want” to any woman or girl in his life — “raping them, corrupting them or demeaning them” for his twisted kicks. Jennifer, “blinded by love,” showed no hesitation and eagerly joined in the vile acts that poisoned their marriage.
Judge Mathieson told Jennifer: “You lost any sense of decency or morality.”
Sentencing: 21 Years for Rochford, Suspended for Wife
Jennifer ran an online den for like-minded perverts and kept notes of those who left their sick circle. She admitted eight counts of bestiality and possession of extreme pornography, found with 1,764 vile images.
The couple lived at a former veterinary clinic, but police confirmed only their own animals were involved.
Daniel Rochford was jailed for 21 years for rape, sexual abuse in presence of a child, voyeurism, and filming his wife’s bestiality acts. He faces an eight-year extended licence — the maximum — and is on the sex offenders register for life, with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) imposed.
Jennifer escaped a prison sentence with nine months suspended over two years. She must stay on the sex offenders register for three years, comply with a SHPO, and complete a 20-day rehab program.
Community Left Horrified by Disturbing Case
Locals are still stunned by the sick revelations. One neighbour said: “It’s beyond comprehension. How could anyone sink so low?”
