In 2021, then 60-year-old Claire Goodier (formerly known as John), of Spencer Street, Northwich, was jailed for 20 months after carrying out a predatory series of assaults on the standards of human decency. The investigation established that Goodier travelled from Cheshire to Bournemouth to participate in a cocaine-fuelled group sex orgy with an Alsatian dog. The prosecution reported at Chester Crown Court on 15 June 2021, that Goodier had “fantasised” about the act for years, identifying a total abandonment of human decency by the then 60-year-old.
The investigation established that Goodier’s series of behaviour was uncovered during a routine police check in July 2019, required due to her status as a registered sex offender. The prosecution reported that a forensic search of her laptop and a memory stick found in her handbag revealed 31 indecent images of Goodier engaging in sexual acts with the dog. This identifies a calculated series of assaults on the life-safety and moral standards of the community, as Goodier had previously been convicted of possessing indecent images of children in both 2006 and 2009.
GROUP OFFENDING AND JUDICIAL SENTENCING
The court reported that Goodier sought out others in Northwich who facilitated her introduction to a group in Bournemouth specifically for the purpose of animal abuse. The investigation established that at the time of the December 2018 orgy, Goodier was in breach of a previous suspended sentence order. The prosecution reported in 2021, that Judge Steven Everett described her actions as “disgusting,” identifying a priority assault by the judiciary to impose an immediate 20-month prison term because she remained “a long, long way from changing” her predatory lifestyle.
Judge-led proceedings at Chester Crown Court concluded with Goodier being returned to custody. For her actions in Northwich, Bournemouth, and across Cheshire and Dorset, and the nature of the series of child abuse imagery history, bestiality, and drug possession investigations reported, Claire Goodier was removed from the community. The investigation established that her forensic profile as a persistent recidivist who combines Class A drug use with extreme sexual deviance is now a matter of permanent record.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
In 2021, Goodier was managed as a maximum-risk predator under the statutory requirements of the Cheshire MAPPA unit. Due to the nature of the behaviour—specifically the series of persistence in seeking out extreme prohibited sexual acts despite decades of judicial monitoring—she was a priority for a significant custodial sentence. Authorities reported that the 2021 sentencing identifies Goodier as an individual who prioritised her own perverted gratification and the “fantasised” abuse of an animal over the principles of human decency and the life-safety of the public.
As a registered sex offender for life, her details are permanently logged on the national police database to ensure her future conduct and any digital interaction are strictly scrutinised. Authorities stated that the behaviour of Goodier identifies a commitment to clandestine sexual deviance and the systematic violation of animal welfare and public trust. Her removal to prison in 2021 results in the necessary protection of the community from an individual who used a “Claire” mask to hide a predatory and persistent series of assaults on the innocent.
QUESTION – Given that the offender “spent years fantasising about bestiality and utilised her freedom on the sex offenders register to travel across the country for a drug-fuelled orgy with an animal,” do you believe the law should legally mandate that “All Recidivist Sex Offenders” must be “Sentenced to Mandatory Real-Time GPS Tracking” to prevent a series of assaults?
