Man charged with having intercourse with his Guide Dog

In this sad story we see that a
blind man has been charged with having sex with his guide dog:
Florida, like many other states, has no bestiality
statute - that is, a law specifically prohibiting sexual contact
between humans and animals.
So Alan Yoder, 29, originally was charged with felony
animal cruelty, but court records show that charge was dropped
last Friday and replaced with a misdemeanor - disorderly
conduct. Yoder now is charged with a "breach of the peace, by
engaging in sexual activity with a guide dog," according to a
court document.
Yoder allegedly admitted having sex
with his guide dog:
Investigators spoke to Yoder on June 16, who admitted
performing certain sex acts with the dog, even going into detail
with them, but denied doing others. He was arrested and booked
June 22, charged with animal cruelty.
Under Florida law, Yoder may be
required to get psychological evaluation, but it is not clear if the
courts might remove the abused animal from him, since he uses the
animal as a mobility aid.
Last year, an Ocala man pleaded no contest to felony
animal cruelty after being charged with having sex with his
then-fiancee's female Rottweiler, according to the Pet-Abuse.com
Web site.
A judge withheld adjudication and ordered five years of
probation and a psychological evaluation. He also prohibited the
27-year-old man from "owning pets of any kind while on probation
and from having unsupervised contact with other people's pets,"
the site said.
