A SICK dairy farmer accused of raping his wife and stepdaughter is also said to have engaged in sexual acts with his cows and calves.
The man from New Zealand’s far north even allegedly made his wife watch as he committed sexual acts with the cattle.
He allegedly raped his underage stepdaughter nearly 90 times over a decade, a court in New Zealand heard.
The man’s wife revealed that the girl is said to have stayed silent out of her love for her stepfather.
She was relieved when the man got a vasectomy, as she previously feared her little girl would get pregnant.
Crown prosecutor Geraldine Kelly told the court: “Getting pregnant had been a concern for her before she was 12.”
During calving season, the man allegedly made his cows and their calves perform sexual acts sex on him.
Kelly said that he made his wife have sex with him after the act with the calves on at least 20 occasions, The New Zealand Herald reports.
She added: “[The wife] told him she found it repulsive, but he would just do it.”
The court heard the man had a “daily physical need” for sex, which also led to his alleged sexual offending against his wife.
He is said to have raped her nearly 300 times.
The man allegedly believed rape didn’t exist and claimed all women eventually give in and enjoy sex, telling his wife, “no means yes”.
Matthew Ridgley, the farmer’s lawyer, said the allegations about the sexual acts with the cows were “nonsense”.
He told the jury it was for them to decide whether what happened was indecent.
He said the defendant admitted having sex with his stepdaughter, but claimed it was consensual and that she was over the age of 16.
Ridgeley said that any sex with the man and his wife was also consensual
The farmer is currently on trial, confronting 38 charges of sexual assault. These include 15 counts of rape, one count of committing bestiality with cows, and one count of performing indecent acts on calves.
The trial is expected to last three weeks.
