Police arrested the duo in July, 2023 and they were granted watch house bail.

They remain on bail after Monday’s brief court proceedings and the case was adjourned for a committal mention later this year.

Under Queensland law, anyone convicted of bestiality is liable to be jailed up to seven years.

Because of the serious nature of the charges, they must be handed up to a higher court (district) before they are dealt with.
