S.C. man gets 3 years for sex with horse

Let's not rush to judgment here! Perhaps he was just looking for his keys?

3 years for screwing a horse? I dont know about this one. I mean, its only a horse. It aint a person or anything. I do admit he is one sick individual and yes throw him in the can for 30 or 60 days not not to mention some serious mental help, but c'mon?

I agree snake. This seems a bit harsh. Dude needs a month or two in jail, plus some court-mandated long term counseling.

My brother didn't even get 3 years for pointing or discharging a firearm at a residence. My other brother didn't even get 3 years for breaking into houses, and it was his 3rd felony offense.

This is a little extreme.

EWE....get that horse checked for VD. I mean, if this guy was that desperate, you don't know where else he's been.

He deserves jail time for trespassing. But for having sex with a horse? That didn't hurt anyone or anything ... so I really don't see how it's our place as a society to jail him for his perversions. What I do think our place is, as a society, is to mandate that he get mental help so that he doesn't do it again or escalate to raping a human being. Jail simply provides no positive solution.

Furthermore, why would you punish someone more harshly for having sex with a horse than actually abuse of animals, or other more major crimes?

Christy-536163 You're absolutely right. The guys that were slaughtering horses here in South Florida probably got away with a slap on the wrist and maybe a little probation. Yet this guy that didnt even hurt the animal gets 3 years.

I wonder if he'll serve out his sentence on a prison farm?

I hate to break it to you guys, but you may be on the wrong side of this argument.

I will play your game and not engage you on any moral ground. I will underline the fact that living in society has its drawbacks: You cannot fornicate with the first horse in sight and expect acceptance while spreading some deadly trans-specie viruses and germs to your fellow humans.

To harsh??? If I had caught him he would be taking his dirt nap right now, shot on sight. Unless I could catch him then I would of hung him.

A couple of months in a prison shower and he will know what the horse felt like !!!

What next! People! Children! What a disqusting perv! He should go to jail and never be let out. Can't play devil's advocate with this one. Most sexual predators start somewhere and end with something much worse. I say lock his sick butt up and throw away the key. Today its a horse. Tomorrow its a missing 3 year old.

Well here we go again and its South Carolina once again. First its the Governor running after a South American Bimbo then an SC prosecutor caught with a stripper and sex toys in his car in a cemetary on his lunch break, and now the crown jewel a SC dude porking a horse, well you SC Conservatives are a fine bunch of coconuts, makes one proud to know you.

Christy ~ He deserves jail time for trespassing. But for having sex with a horse? That didn't hurt anyone or anything ... so I really don't see how it's our place as a society to jail him for his perversions.

YOU are one of the reasons why the world is in the state that it is in.

Popeyethesailor, you're on a roll today! lol! All true. All true. What's in the water down in South Carolina. LOL!

What's in the water down in South Carolina. LOL!

Maybe it's not water? Maybe it's moonshine?

To all you people who don't see anything wrong with bestiality : how would you feel sleeping with someone who had just gotten it on with a horse or dog? I wouldn't touch someone like this with a ****ing stick, much less worry about whether they're hurting anyone.

Maybe it's not water? Maybe it's moonshine?

He doesn't look like a moonshiner to me.

Some time back, there was a video on the Net showing a man getting sheesh-kebabbed by a horse. He apparently died a short while later. In this case here, we don't know who did what to whom - and speaking for myself, I don't really want to know. Maybe this guy has a death wish.

tweethart44, if he was that desperate he hasn't been anywhere else!

Everybody wants to hang the buggerer. What everyone fails to note is that the horse filed no complaints. Why not, you ask? Because she was a filthy whorse. That's right, a trotting trollip. Further investigation revealed that she was often seen provactively working over the salt lick, caught flicking her tail to expose her nether region and on more than one occasion observed watching the satirical equine pornographic film titled "Mr. HEd". It was well known throughout the barn that while all of the other horses ate the carrots given to them, this silo slut was busy putting a spit shine on them in front of any Tom, Duck or Harry that would pay to watch. Let he who has sinned cast the first shoe!

OMG, you mean the Repubs win big and the DEMS have this HORSESH!T put in the news so we do not read about the elections and their losses? WOW, and I know, I am just horsing around.

You cannot fornicate with the first horse in sight and expect acceptance while spreading some deadly trans-specie viruses and germs to your fellow humans.

Nice point. Yes, and not to mention that fact that if I caught anyone screwing with one of my animals they could hope they would just be going to jail. What a freak.

Look on the bright side - for three years now he should be getting all the sex he wants, whether he wants it or not... see how he likes it. My guess is that the horse didn't sign up for this crap.

S.C. man gets 3 years...

What did the horse get?

You cannot fornicate with the first horse in sight...

You need to date around a bit first.

The horse was heard to say "is it in yet?"

OMFG! hadenuff you had me falling out of my chair laughing! Did he take the horse to dinner first? Or was she just a cheap easy roll in the hay? South Carolina, where the men are men and the horses are nervous!

Because she was a filthy whorse. That's right, a trotting trollip. Further investigation revealed that she was often seen provactively working over the salt lick...

That's funny. Needs more votes.

The horse in this case was asked for a comment but only replied, "Neigh".

Gives a whole new meaning to 'playing the ponies'!!!

The horse was probably a racy thoroughbed.

This is disturbing; was the guy the "pitcher or the catcher"?

I also heard he had a poodle prior.

I had the misfortune to live in South Carolina for awhile...can't say it surprises me. Backasward state.

To the people who think he did nothing wrong and didn't hurt anything: uh, tell that to the horse, or at least the horse's owner. It obviously bothered the horse enough that she was acting strangely enough for the owner to realize something was going on.

As for getting it in prison? I don't know about that...would those guys even want to touch a guy who got his jollies off on/in a horse? Yikes!

It's the sexual mechanics that boggles me, how this guy got up there to put his business in that poor animal to begin with; this headcase ranks right up there with the guy caught pleasuring himself at a car wash in Saginaw with a vacuum hose.

That was one lucky horse. He puts a new meaning into riding a horse! Maybe he should just buy one and do it in his own privacy. All though this falls in the catagory of beastyality, alot of sickos do it, but the problem was, it wasnt his horse and trespassing!

i bet Mister EDD is rolling in his grave right about now. . .

but the problem was, it wasnt his horse

Does that count for adultery?

if he gets 3 years for screwing a horse. . . what would a politician get for screwing americans for decades?

A lifetime membership at the local Gentlemen's club.

what was I thinking. . . . . reelected. . . .

Hey layoff SC please. Not all south carolinians are like that. This guy will be forced to take his meds. Hopefully he will get the help he needs.

Yeah I am from SC and a republican to boot. And damn proud of it too!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't it legal to have sex with a sheep in SC?

Hey layoff SC please. Not all south carolinians are like that.

rdixiesunrise61, this is NOT about S.C., this is about a few degenerates that indulge in abusing animals for their own self-gratification.

He needs a bullet!!!

He shouldn't have been "horsing around"...

ordered to register as a sex offender? He won't be able to live within 1500 ft of horses....

time to put him on the mental ward, hopefully this isn't start of a new trend.

3 years sounds OK, but if he is still not right after 3 years, he should be committed indefinitely until he is.

Did the horse file charges?

The last Paragraph was frikken funny.. Well at least he loves animals. He will be the future poster child for the Animal rights Activists.

That's so wrong....but funny!

Thank you, thank you all so very much. This thread has been the funniest one I have ever read on Newsvine, or in fact almost anywhere. I simply cannot stop laughing. Tears have been falling and my nose is running from it. Someone should create a book from this for therapy for depressed persons. What I did wonder, as did another on this thread, is how the hell did he reach? I guess either he stood on a stool (not a horse stool although he must in his career have stood on many of them) in which case he should have stayed with sheep, a more common target for persons with his preferences, or else he is hung like a horse, in which case there might have been many more willing targets for his amorous tendancies.

I just saw a photo of Vereen. Maybe he DIDN'T need a stool. Maybe he needed a horse.

Hmm... what is it with South Carolina and their colorful characters? A governor gone AWOL on the "Appalachian Trail" then found chasing Argentinian tail, a congressman with boorish schoolyard manners and now a multi-offender dude with an eye for a horse rear.

Understood -

I'm confused - looking for ways to solve a problem rather than just delay it for 3 years is wrong? This type of opinion is what is harming the world? I think the story of the rapist in Cleveland is an example of why temporary punishment without a longterm solution is POINTLESS and quite frankly, a shortsighted measure that may even HARM society in the long run. As you highlighted in my statement - this person didn't hurt anyone or anything. I'm not sure why you object to the statement? The horse certainly wasn't hurt. (Equine vets regularly palpate horses per rectum and per vaginum, and while they don't like it, as long as you use lube the horses are none the worse for wear). No person was hurt, although the horse owner was rightfully upset. So basically, we're punishing a perverted man because we think he's gross? I don't quite see how that's the government's responsibility or business.

Karl -

I certainly don't think acceptance is the issue. I think what this man did was disgusting. I am personally offended by it. But I simply feel that government has NO PLACE legislating morality! Its place is to protect its citizens. If this man's behavior is a precursor to dangerous behavior towards people, then the government needs to step in and fix the problem (and jail isn't going to do this). If it is not something that is going to escalate into a danger to society, then the government has no place in regulating it. I cannot make the determination as to whether this man has the potential to harm people in the future. I don't think anyone here can. This decision needs to be made not by popular opinion, but that of professionals in psychological health and disease who evaluate his mental state.

Whoever wrote this lacks understanding. All governments do is legislate morality, that is what they are there for. Further, any behavior that is not Constitutionally guaranteed as a matter of right (drinking, smoking, horse sex), may be outlawed, and yes, simply because a majority (or well funded minority for that matter) find it distasteful. That is why we call it society and not anarchy.

I also find it funny that you would rush to justify this man when in addition to engaging in sexual deviance, he committed criminal trespass, indecent exposure, and criminal interference with private property. He committed a litany of crimes against the Constitutional rights of another person specifically so he could carry out his deviant sexual behavior. That is what should worry a normal person. Certain behaviors, i.e bestiality, indicate that the normal barriers that good society members have in their brains are absent from certain individuals. The rest of us are under no obligation to ignore the risks posed by their behavior.

Castration would be much cheaper than housing this guy in jail for three years.

Back before the Revolutionary War, there's a story about a young man who did the same things to several animals. He, too, was eventually found out and put on trial. Justice was swift.

The boy (he was 16 yrs. old) was forced to watch as the law officers put down the animals he soiled. (i.e. killed them). Then in judgement upon the youth, they executed the bugger by hanging.

Three years seems like a light sentence, but regardless, I suspect the horse will not wait for him..... LOL

Was it a Mustang?

No they don't get better!

However funny some think this is these are the same Peds ravaging our women and children.!..

Ive one better though there's a strange perv up here in Minnesota that likes dead deer on the side of the road.

I agree, a 21 year old horse! do you know how old that is in human years?

At least it was not a very young HORSE, that is a good thang

I still say he needs a bullet (man not the horse).

I would have to agree. I think that he should have to pay restitution in the amount of a new horse to the owner, get 90 days in the can, not be allowed around any animals, and be forced into some serious counseling.

This is surely one weird dude, but I don't want taxpayers on the hook to house and feed him for three years. I'd say send him to jail for 60 days since that's just long enough for him to learn some empathy the hard way regarding non-consensual buggery.

I almost crossbred with a Republican once. Some of them look almost human.

it is the Democrats who use a jackass as thir political symbol. I guess cross breeding with a Republican would be a step UP for a jackass

I almost crossbred with a Republican once. Some of them look almost human.

Personally I'd choose Sarah Palin over the perp any day. I sincerely don't understand your preferences Jlrby.

http://weirdnews.about.com/od/weirdphotos/ig/Weird-Crime-Mug-Shots/Rodell-Vereen.htm

the taxpayers are on the hook for $136,875 just to house this guy for three years. not exactaly fiscially responsible.

Maybe we can just revoke his citizenship, would that be cheaper?

dewintre - you must spend eight hours a day on newsvine. Have you ever thought about getting a life?

If you had earned 739K by Nov 1st, would you change what you were doing?

But it's South Carolina tax payers so who really cares?

Ronnie - No, for a jackass to crossbreed with a Republican would be a step down.

Only a DumbDem would act like a jackass and talk trash like that. Molesters, Bestiality types and rapists are all walking dead men to society, only stealing oxygen to ruin our day.

There are too many gddm working class Republicans on newsvine. They need to head over to Afghanistan and help their Taliban friends.

If you had earned 739K by Nov 1st, would you change what you were doing

2 hours at the stimuls job rate.

He cant live within 1500 feet of a barn, a farm, a pet store, a carnival, or any other place where farm animals congregate.

LOL!!

I just think it's a shame the guy can't get his thrills legitimately. Maybe the stable owner could think of keeping a mare around to rent out for this purpose. Would that mare be a whorse?

Oh please...............at least it was not Mister ED

very funny, snake09

Has anybody thought of starting up a dating website for horses looking for men, and men looking for horses?

Hell NO! We do not need any horse-humpers in NC! Thanks anyway!

JJd unless you live here don't even go there with your crap. SC is a great place to live. where are you from and what happened in your state.

As for Mark Sanford he can stay in as governor for all I care. He hasn't harmed me, he has done more good for the state than bad.

As for Wilson...he is the man!! His emotions just got away with him. hasn't that ever happened to you?

as for the horse rapist...he needs to get help and make sure he takes his meds.

Not everyone here in SC are stupid or inbred. I love my state and its people. So take a flying leap.

Rich-402108; I agree, same issue"different animal" so to speak.

The argument will be the same "but I love IT, live and let live, I am not hurting anyone"

SC uses the same law to prosecute homosexual sex acts.

ac~ and they should.

Rich - I think we read different articles. From what I could tell, the suspect in the one I read was not a mare.

Rich-402108

I frankly don't care who or what people have sex with, so long as its consensual. I don't the horse was a willing participant.

neeiiiggghhh means neeiiiggghhh

I am rolling on the floor! B Dune, nice work. And I doubt if the human male genitalia would even be felt by a horse. Agreed that you should not trespass but this story is really funny to me. Lighten up, I love horses and all animals, but I can't see how this hurt the horse. Who knows? The horse may have liked it.

Catherine the Great.

That's an urban myth. I've heard it before, but Catherine the Great died from a stroke.

Catherine the Great died from a stroke.

Hum mm... You should rephrase that.

She should have considered riding the horse. Cowgirl-style.

Karl_:

Touche mate! Well played.

I have seen miniature horses, and they are well hung, maybe one was not available at that time in history.

No, I don't think so. Says, he just rolled over (like everyman) and fell asleep in the hay.

At least he bought her dinner first. As long as "sowing his wild oats" counts.

The fact that there is a law on the books for such a thing and that such a law was necessary says a lot about our society.

Says a lot about why I don't live or visit South Carolina....

lol!

Same guy so the Horse must have consented, I say let him ride like a stallion. Must have been a stellar looking horse, kinda like Nancy may have been in 1908. I think the Horse wanted it just by the way she was standing, By the way, how the hell did this guy reach that high??????????????????

SDG~ I feel your disgust, but do you not know that bestiality is not illegal in all 50 states?

This story would be considered really sick if it happened a century ago. Now, it is just gay. In the next century, it would become the norm... Thank you to all the gay activists... I just don't see this story is any gayer and the gay guys marrying each others.

No, I don't think so. Says, he just rolled over (like everyman) and fell asleep in the hay.

I agree Chris 630880!

sorry dude, this is the most interesting story on the net. besides, it's every southerner's right to stump break his horse.

I AGREE...I don't know where the HUMOR is in this story. Why is it ACCEPTABLE or "OK" just because this is an "animal?? BS! Anyone that loves animals would see that this is SICK behavior and why should it be "ok" just because it's an animal? The problem with society is that nothing is sacred anymore...morals, values, etc...if it were my horse I would've beat the crap out of him...hell yes he deserves jail time although I do agree with he also deserves help, which I highly doubt will change his behavior.....I don't care what states this behavior is legal or not....it's FKIN gross and I'd like to see those of you feel it's cool that an animal screw a human....its not cool EITHER way!

Chris-630880! YOU ARE SO WRONG! Gay has nothing to do with bestiality. For your information, most child predators, rapist and other vile people who commit sexual crimes are heterosexual in nature. Having sex with an animal absolutely has nothing to do with being gay. DON'T BE SO NARROW-MINDED and limited in your thinking.

I agree!!!!! This propbaly did harm the animal. It is no different than beating an animal becuase this Horse will now be very timid towards humans. This guy has already been charged beforew with the crime, I feel he should now be sent to the padded room for the rest of his life since we cannot force him to take his meds when he is out of jail.

oh Victor629270 yeah it does... Homosexuality and bestiality BOTH go against the natural order of things..

Man with man

woman with woman

beast with human

Unnatural.

Man with unwilling man
woman with unwilling woman
Unnatural.

Fixed that for ya. Coward.

Victor629270~ It's all buggery.

Dave~ no fix for me sweetie, sounds like it did more for you... consentual or not... consentual adults do alot of filthy, dirty, things... doesn't make it right or natural for that matter.

I respect your opinion and we can agree to disagree. What's unnatural is not having a choice. Force. What consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business and should not be up for other folks' judgment. Violating horses, now that's another story.

Agreed (shaking hand) agree to disagree have a nice one!

Chris-630880

This story would be considered really sick if it happened a century ago. Now, it is just gay. In the next century, it would become the norm... Thank you to all the gay activists... I just don't see this story is any gayer and the gay guys marrying each others.

You mean instead of marrying your boyfriend, you're just gonna continue to shack up? For shame!

Now if Pierre Elliott Trudeau, former Prime Minister of Canada, were still alive, then instead of saying, as he did, "The State has no business in the bedrooms of the nation", he could have said "The State has no business in the bedrooms and stables of the nation."

A sexual offense is a sexual offense.

And a sense of humour is a sense of humour.

My only question is, what if the horse had been a stallion or a gelding instead of a mare? Would that make a difference in the sentencing in some States?

For all of you using this as an example of the failings of modern society, try opening a book for once in your life. This type of thing used to be much more prevelent, when we were a rural society. It was talked around in liturature and alluded to in song.

Try reading "The Sheep Child" by James L Dickey.

Just like murder and rape, beastiaslity is on the decline. If you can read, You can succeed!

beastiaslity is on the decline

Yea, now they screw are children.

If you can read, You can succeed!

I read just fine. Try taking your own advise.

Did you see the way she was dressed? Plus everyone in that stable knows every stud on the ranch has had a ride on that bike. Why didn't she say something before if it wasn't consensual?

man gets 3 years for sex with horse

What did the horse get??

What did the horse get??

Asked for a second (or in this case, a third) "date" - in about three years!

LOL I know right! Acting strangely because she wanted some more strange.

Maybe this tape will show up on the next installment of "Guys Gone Wild"?

Or "Horses Gone Wild"!
