Arizona Swingers Arrested in Craigslist Dog Sex Sting

Sarah Dae Walker

An Arizona couple and their friend have been arrested and charged with felony attempted bestiality after an undercover detective caught the group trying to arrange a group sex session in which the woman would have had intercourse with a golden shepherd dog. [1] For the month leading up to their arrest, Sarah had a sexual relationship with Aucker. Sarah told Aucker that she fantasized about intercourse with a dog, according to CBS. The Walkers consider themselves swingers with an “open marriage.” [2] After locating a dog on Craigslist, the trio of suspects reportedly drove to a prearranged Phoenix location with the intent of committing bestiality. But the dog’s owner was actually an undercover detective, and the group was busted. [1] 

Shane Walker

According to a probable cause affidavit, an undercover investigator earlier this month spotted a Craigslist ad titled “Wife looking for a K9,” which noted, “Let us know were and when we are looking for now.” During an exchange of e-mails with the targets, the undercover detective was told that the husband and wife “wanted a male dog to have sexual intercourse with the wife.” [3]  At one point during the correspondence, the investigator was “offered sexual favors with the wife before the bestiality would occur,” the affidavit reports. [3] The trio also believed that the dog owner “would also join in for intercourse” with Sarah. Additionally, the affidavit discloses that the group had “exchanged anatomical photos of a dog’s penis as well as other unknown animal photos.” [3]   The Arizona Republic reports that Shane and Sarah Dae Walker, ages 38 and 33, were arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit an act of bestiality.

Robert Aucker

Also arrested was friend Robert Aucker, age 29. The Daily Mail reports that Shane is a flight attendant and Sarah Dae is a freelance photographer. [5] According to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, the three suspects used Craigslist to find a male golden shepherd for Sarah Dae to have sex with while the two men watched. [1] The owner of the golden shepherd was an undercover detective, according to the Sheriff’s Office. [13] All three reportedly admitted to the crime, a class 6 felony. [1]  Sarah Dae Walker was sentenced to 24 months of supervised probation with her husband ordered 18 months under the same bestiality charge. [4] “People who do this for enjoyment are a different breed, that’s for certain,” Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, known worldwide as “America’s Toughest Sheriff” for his fanatical pursuit of undocumented immigrants, told the Arizona Republic. [7] [13]  Arpaio said he blames Craiglist for failing to prevent such occurrences. According to the Daily Mail, the sheriff wrote Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster last year after a similar incident in which a pair was arrested using the popular website to solicit sex with dogs. [5]  “I remain extremely disappointed in the leadership at Craigslist.com for refusing to do what they can to stop this,” Arpaio is quoted in the Daily Mail. “While they aren’t doing anything to stop it, I will continue to enforce all animal cruelty laws.” [5] Would-be dog fuckers now know what it feels like to be “illegal” in Phoenix.
