Man escapes jail after admitting having sex with horse

A man escaped jail yesterday after he admitted having sex with a horse.

12:29PM GMT 28 Jan 2011

Derek Woods was caught after police rigged up a paddock with secret cameras and alarms ten months after he first interfered with the horse called Amber.

Police swooped on the stable in Devon after the alarm sounded and Woods, 26, was caught red handed.

Officers had previously retrieved his DNA from semen at the scene but Woods was not on the database and was not immediately snared.

Glasgow born Woods admitted one count of having sex with a horse in February this year and two charges of animal cruelty in December 2009 and August 2010 at Clyst St George near Exeter, Devon.

When he was caught Woods had been on his way to a nearby farm where he had been living and had a warm Chinese takeaway meal with him - when he sloped off to the stable to interfere with the horse again.

Prosecutor Gareth Evans told Exeter Crown Court yesterday:"Maggie Hunt keeps two horses at a rural location close to Clyst St George, Exeter.

"The location is purely that of a paddock and a stable for two horses The paddock is accessed via a gate which leads directly onto a small country lane.

"In early December 2009 Mrs Hunt noticed that somebody had been entering the stable and interfering with her horse. The first occasion was on the 18th December when she found a male asleep in the barn - he was drunk and did leave when asked.

"Mrs Hunt also noticed that water containers and food bins had been moved from outside to inside the stable so she decided to examine her horse. She reported the matter to the police.

"Due to this incident various tactics were employed by Mrs Hunt and the police to try and put off the perpetrator or catch that person at the scene, these included fake CCTV cameras and an alarm which sounded when activated.

"Police were also instructed to pay passing visits to the location. However these tactics did not prove successful. On several occasions the camera was moved and Mrs Hunt was left in no doubt that the offender continued to attend the stable.

"On the morning of 4th February 2010 Mrs Hunt noticed injuries to her horse and what appeared to be fluid on the thigh of the horse."

After another incident in July when the horse was injured, the Devon and Cornwall police force's technical support unit installed a covert infa red camera and a wireless panic alarm usually used to domestic violence victims was used at the site, said Detective Constable Darren Campbell.

He said:"The alarm sensors were taken apart, camouflaged and fixed to the stable door and a tiny covert camera and infa red lamp set up inside with the power source and recording equipment hidden in a nearby tack room. After several false alarms and technical problems police finally managed to get the equipment set up correctly for this purpose

"On 9th August 2010 at around 11pm there was an alarm activation and police attended, they found Woods at the scene and he was arrested. During his detention his DNA was taken and submitted onto the database. Around 10 days later police had a match to the swab taken from the thigh of the horse.

A second swab proved that Woods had had sex with the horse.

Det Con Campbell said:"The CCTV showed Woods entering the stable and approaching the horse and he began to put his hand to the rear of the horse. Throughout the horse makes efforts to get away from him. Woods eventually gets the horse to stop moving and can be seen pushing his hand into the horse.

Woods then tries to get the bin behind the horse and kneel on it, however he is unsuccessful as the horse moves away. Woods then moves into the next stable and appears to try the same with another horse, the police then arrive who find him inside the stable and he is arrested

An experienced vet who attended said the animal showed signs of distress throughout the ordeal.

Jobless Woods, now living in Exeter, was sentenced yesterday at Exeter Crown Court.

His lawyer Niel Wraith said Woods was an 'isolated' man with a drink problem whereby he drank large quantities of Thunderbird - a a mixture of Buckfast tonic wine, Martini and coke.

The barrister said:"Woods is unable or unwilling to talk about the reasons behind his offending, it is difficult for anybody to fathom out what the reasons would be.

"He feels complete and utter shame at the position he finds himself in embarrassed beyond words. The case will hound him for some time to come."

Judge Paul Darlow gave him a 24 months supervision order with an alcohol treatment condition and banned him from a one mile radius of the victim's fields and stables.

The judge told him he had acted in a'deviant and depraved' way and caused distress to the horse.

He said if Woods went anywhere near paddocks, stables or fields with horses in them, the police would be very interested in that activity.

Balinese Teen Marries The ‘Flirtatious’ Cow He Raped

12th, June 2010

NGURAH Alit, 18, of Bali, indoensia, is charged with having sexual intercourse with a “flirtatious” cow.

Alit, of Yeh Embang, Jembrana, was caught shagging the cow by Gusti Ngurah Dinar, who describes Alit as “standing naked and holding the cow’s ass”.

Alit was stood on a mud terrace between two rice paddy fields. When confronted, Alit said he thought the cow was a young and beautiful girl. Says he:

“She was calling to me, making flattering comments, then I had sex with her.”

Not so says the court. She was the innocent party. Noooooooo means no. It’s rape. And Alit is scheduled to get two years bird. He will also pay a fine. And he has been made to marry the cow.

The cow needs to be cleansed. It will be drowned at sea in a Pecaruan cleansing ceremony to rid it of “dirty behaviour”.

Yeah she was asking for it.

Police accuse woman of having sex with horse

POSTED: April 28, 2010

CLYMER - An Indiana County woman has been charged with having sex with a horse, state police at Indiana said Tuesday.

Dovie Lee Kerner, 46, of Plumville also allegedly had sex with other animals including a dog and a pig, court documents state.

The investigation began in November 2008 when it was reported by two officials from the Humane Society of Indiana County, police said.

One of the officials said she received a phone call from a confidential informant who asked her if it was illegal to have sex with an animal. When told yes, the informant said he had a video on his cell phone of Kerner having sex with a horse, court documents state.

Because of Kerner's alleged sexual activities with other men and animals, the informant, who had dated the woman, and his Jack Russell terrier both contracted sexually transmitted diseases, court documents state.

Kerner is charged with two counts each of obscene and other sexual materials and performances and disorderly conduct and one count of sexual intercourse with an animal.

The charges were filed before Magisterial District Judge George Thachik. No preliminary hearing date has been set, according to online court records.

convictions and was of previous good character.

Boy accused of sexually abusing family cat

By STEVE BRUCE Court Reporter
Mon. Jan 18 - 4:39 PM

A Dartmouth teenager was arrested on the weekend for allegedly trying to have sex with the family cat.

The 16-year-old boy appeared in Halifax youth court today on charges of bestiality, causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal, breaching an undertaking and two counts of breaching a youth sentence.

Crown attorney Gary Holt told Judge Pam Williams he was opposed to the boy's release.

The boy will remain in custody at the Nova Scotia Youth Facility in Waterville until Feb. 18, when he returns to court for a bail hearing.

The teenager's identity is protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

His mother reported him to the authorities Saturday morning after she discovered evidence that the cat had been sexually abused.

The cat was examined at the Metro Animal Emergency Clinic in Dartmouth's Burnside Park.

“It's a serious offence,” Mr. Holt said of the allegation of bestiality. “It's one that we don't see very often ... in any court.”

Mr. Holt said this is the first bestiality case he's dealt with in 29 years as a prosecutor.

The boy has been charged with sex offences before.

He was sentenced in December to six months of deferred custody and supervision in the community for sexual assault.

He's also scheduled to go to trial May 3 on 10 charges, including single counts of sexual assault and committing an indecent act.
