According to reports, at the end of May, an 18-year-old from Monroe County left the house to take the family dog for a walk. His family believed he had been gone for longer than they expected, and his sister went to look for them. She found them in the yard, and her brother reportedly had his pants pulled down. She said it appeared as if he was trying to make the Great Dane have intercourse with him, and she told their parents what she believed she saw.
The family notified the authorities about the situation, and an investigator from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department went to the home. They spoke to the man’s family, who told them that this was not the first time he had sexual relations with an animal. They claimed that in addition to the current incident with the dog, he also did sexual things with a donkey in the past.
When the investigator spoke to the teen, he said he was trying to urinate in the yard and the dog knocked him down. Despite his explanation for the incident, he was taken into custody and booked into the Monroe County Jail on suspicion of bestiality, and he has remained incarcerated since his arrest.
At some point during the approximate two months that the man has been in the detention center, some of the other inmates got wind of the accusations that led to his arrest. He heard one of them making donkey sounds and allegedly struck the man, and he is now facing a battery charge.
