They further claim that the man did intentionally sexually touch a young person between 16 and 18 three times.

Court documents state the man is also charged with possessing bestiality and child abuse material.

It is also alleged that the woman had sexual intercourse with a dog twice, attempted it on a third occasion and produced child abuse material.

Prosecutors further allege the woman incited a young person to touch another person sexually and intentionally touched a person aged between 16 and 18 on three occasions.

Court documents state it will also be alleged the woman had sexual intercourse with a young person five times.

The pair both fronted Campbelltown Local Court on Wednesday, where it was revealed the Director of Public Prosecutions confirmed the cases had been reviewed by a Crown prosecutor who had certified charges.

Under NSW law, a prosecutor can only certify charges for trial if they are satisfied that the material contained in the police brief of evidence can establish an accused person’s guilt to each element of the offence.

The matters were adjourned for a mandatory case conference between legal teams and prosecutors, where any plea offers could be discussed before the case was committed to the NSW District Court.

Both the man and the woman are yet to enter any pleas to the charges. Both remain in custody on remand.
