Dog Repeatedly Sexually Assaulted by Sex Offender

Will County man was charged on Dec 7 with repeatedly having sex with an 18-year-old dog, a cockapoo, sheriff's police said.


A Will County man was charged on Dec 7 with repeatedly having sex with an 18-year-old dog, a cockapoo, sheriff's police said.

Dwayne D. Page, 27, who was living with his mother near Elwood in Jackson Township, was charged with having sexual contact with an animal and animal abuse, police said.

"He's one sick guy," sheriff's office spokesman Pat Barry said.

Cockapoos are a mix between cocker spaniels and poodles, according to the Cockapoo Club of America's Web site.

Sheriff's Detective Dan Jungles received a call on Dec 7 from someone who either observed or heard of the abuse, Barry said. He said Jungles brought Page in to be interviewed and determined that Page had "ongoing" sexual contact with the female dog, named Pepper.

Page, formerly of Joliet, is on two years' probation after pleading guilty in April to indecent solicitation of a child, according to court records. He was required to register as a sex offender and did so at his mother's home in the 25000 block of Tehle Road, according to Illinois' sex offender Web site.

Page was being held on Dec 7 at the Will County Jail and is scheduled to appear in bond court today.

Pepper remains with Page's mother, police said.Case UpdatesPage copped a blind plea in April to a charge of indecent solicitation of a child, said Charles Pelkie, spokesman for State's Attorney James Glasgow's office. Prosecutor's requested a prison term for Page, but he was sentenced instead to 24 months of probation and required to register as a sex offender.

You have to be kidding me :yikes: ! That is one sick ****! How desperate can he be to do a dog. He should be neutered!! And locked up!

do we have to post this stuff my kids look at this site.

I understand your concern, but how is this worse than all the stories of dogs being burned to death by being put in stoves, having acid poured on them etc.

I agree this story is terrible, the dog was 18 and this person is clearly sick, but this is a news report. This is a news forum. When you turn on the news you will see this type of story the same as you will in the news forum. I would suggest not letting children visit the news forum to avoid this kind of issue.

Some people should be taken out and shot.

:yikes: SICK_SICK_SICK !! I agree with the youngsters , but if they have permission here ...it's education of the real world of sickos out there . Sad world .

What a SICK person! :yikes: Oh my....

You are supposed to be 13 or older when you join this forum, btw.

That is really sick how someone could do that to an animal. Ewww.

Hollybea,
If it will put your mind at ease, there are many places for children to recieve education about animals, which includes ALL aspects of it...and yes, even animal cruelty and abuse. Here are a few such websites specifically for kids:

Every child is unique, and adults should use caution and careful thought when discussing cruelty with children. In general, children under four simply should not be exposed to cruelty. Two-year-olds can begin to learn that their actions make others-including animals-happy and sad. With two- and three-year-olds, discuss their own experiences and how they would feel if they were treated the way they treat their pets or other animals in their immediate lives. Help them relate not only the ways they would feel hurt, but also the ways they would feel happy.

With all children under six or so, you may wish to help guide their hands so they can learn how to pet and hold their animal companions. Children do not have fine control over their movements and impulses--they will want to treat their pets with love, but will need a little help from you to do it correctly.

Children who are between about four and six often begin to understand basic moral concepts, such as fairness. These children can learn to be kind to animals because the animals "deserve" it. Children may discuss injuries they have had themselves, but do not introduce discussions about other types of injuries. Try to limit discussions of animal cruelty to the simple fact that animals can be hurt; do not describe how they can be hurt (e.g., starvation, physical abuse, etc.).

With most children who are six to ten years old, you can begin to discuss why someone might be mean to an animal-as long as you make sure the child always keeps in mind that it is wrong to hurt animals. In addition, do not let discussions of animal cruelty satisfy the morbid curiosity some children of this age may have. Children of this age often form some of their earliest memories and impressions about the state of the world beyond their families. It is very important that adults filter what these children perceive! Even if children witness violence as a "bad example" or as a way NOT to act, they are still witnessing violence, and can be strongly affected by it.

Many children between 10 and 14 are exploring their self-image and reflecting upon their relationships with others. Studies indicate that children of this age are still strongly affected by violence, so discussions about animal cruelty should still be kept free of details about the violence. Nonetheless, the issue can be raised directly-if delicately-with most of these children. Adults should make it clear that they do not condone violence in their own thoughts and behavior. Children of this age are finely attuned to the words and actions of adults, and still rely on them as role models.

Parents, teachers, and trusted adults can also discuss with 10- to 14-year-olds how they would act if their peers or friends treated animals cruelly. By couching the advice in terms of what you would do if you were in a given situation, you can help children overcome peer pressure and follow what they know is right. These children may encounter others abusing animals-knowing that they are in the right and will be supported for standing up to it is very important at this age of strong peer pressure.

Again, with all children-even older teens-keep in mind the importance of modeling appropriate behaviors. Our children do emulate us, even if they wouldn't admit it. If we treat animals cruelly or as unfeeling machines, our children will probably think that this is right or, at least, normal. The more a child identifies with an adult, the greater an impact that person will have on the child-in both good ways and bad ways.

Children who know of animal cruelty should tell an adult about it. Make sure children know who they can trust--such as parents, teachers, police officers, etc.-and nurture their trust so they can tell you.

that man should be made a enuich! neutering isnt enough in a case like that...
he needs a nice trip to prison where someone will happily show him how it feels to be used in such a way...
im sure bubbas real nice when you "get to know" him! *evil laugh*

seriously though...
this man has more than issues...he has a full subscription!

Ewww that is so sick. That guy should receive some serious consequences, not just probation.

Your kids are supposed to be over 13 to be registered on here.

my daughters are 13 and 15, its not the fact that i dont want them knowing about the news and being educated on these things but at 13 she is certainly not old enough to know about sexual abuse with animals, i work for the rspca so they know all about other kinds of abuse.
Maybe its just how mine are brought up but i dont even like the mental image let a one my 13yr old daughter.

Do your children go to school? You do not even want to know what is discussed there. I first heard of beastiality at age 11. You cannot shelter your children from everything.

That man is sick beyond words!

yes i agree with what you are saying but just hate the thought of it, protective mother and all that

This case is a clear example of why we need the death penalty, there is no reason to continue to have this person in society. He is clearly twisted and for the safety of society and to stop his own torment.... Heck I'll volunteer to pull the switch.

Oh lord. :yikes: SICK.

Eunuchy . . . Snip snip!

Funny as it sound but Castration doesn't fix the problem, Sex offenders who have been castrated continue to molest just not with the same "tool".

That made me sick. He is sick and should be put away permanently somewhere. I think that is just as bad as child abuse. Those people are sick and will never get well.

How about a compromise, Holly?

There's not a lot to say about this, other than to express outrage, so I'll lock it and it will cycle down the links
