Guest guest Posted January 16, 2000 Report Share Posted January 16, 2000 CROSS POSTING ENCOURAGED I just got off the phone with my contact regarding the Daniel Bruce house case in Agoura California. My contact learned that " they " (possibly the DA or Judge) want to try to settle this case OUT OF COURT because of the costs for a trial, this zoophile sexually assaulted numerous animals causing injuries, and at least one gelding DIED. Please call, fax, email and state that this case should be prosecuted to the full extent of the laws on the books, this is now the THIRD zoophile animal sex-abuse case in that state in the past year alone! This zoophile needs mandatory psychological intervention and prohibition from owning or any contact with animals It's obvious the animal abuse laws and courts are not working. The trial is Jan 20th The honorable Judge Lawrence J. Mira, Division 1 presiding Location: Malibu Municipal Court, 23575 Civic Ctr Way, Malibu, California Phones: Court room,, Criminal Dept., Div 1: 310-317-1331 Judicial Secretary: D.Ross 310-317-1349 GIL GARCETTI Los Angeles County District Attorney District Attorney's Office County of Los Angeles 18000 Criminal Courts Building 210 West Temple Street Los Angeles, CA 90012-3210 Voice (213) 974-3512 Fax (213) 974-1484 lada The D.A.'s name and number I was given is different than the listed DA on the county web site for Los Angeles county where Malibu is located. M. Herstkoutz (sp?) 310-317-1343 He is in jail where he has been for the past 6 months, charged with 5 felony counts of animal cruelty and 5 misdemenor counts of bestiality for his brutal sexual assaults on several horses. One gelding died later of rectal bleeding. We may need some big guns to phone the D.A. and the judge about the seriousness of this issue and that if he is not treated as a sexual psychopath he WILL do this again, guaranteed. A photo of the zoophile Mr House is on it's way to me, and will be distributed. Here is the original case press release: Thursday, June 17, 1999 Suspect arrested in assaults on horses Deputies won't name person arrested for sodomizing horses in Agoura. By CHRIS G. DENINA AGOURA -- A man ( Daniel Bruce House) suspected of sexually assaulting several horses was arrested June 6 by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies after horse owners along Cornell Road told them their horses had been sodomized with unknown instruments. The suspect, whose name police would not release, posted bail pending a hearing in August. " There was a man arrested for, basically, bestiality, " said Det. Chris Germann of the Lost Hills Sheriff's Station. At least three horses appear to have been assaulted. Germann declined to discuss details of the ongoing investigation but said the suspect could face felony charges of bestiality according to the California penal code, as well as trespassing and vandalism. Horse owners along Cornell Road have distributed fliers about the attacks that name a suspect. They plan to hold a neighborhood meeting June 28 to discuss ways to protect their animals. Patty Lucci, who lives in the 4000 block of Cornell Road, said one of her two show horses was attacked. Lucci said she realized something was wrong when she noticed that Buddy, a 9-year-old gelding, had rope marks on his hind legs, where he had apparently been tied up. A horse owned by a neighbor across the street was also victimized. " When I heard about the male (horse) across the street, I called he vet, " Lucci said. " I'm alerting everybody that I know. If a horse shows up with marks on his hind legs, check further. " Lucci said she does expect that Buddy will return to competition next year. But until the investigation is completed, she rests uneasy. " I've got the barn lights on all night long, " Lucci said. " I've got the floodlights on all night long. I'm getting very little sleep. I don't know what else I can do except light the place up. " Unfortunately, said Sgt. Frank Bongiorno of the Los Angles County Animal Care and Control, horses are sometimes more trusting than other animals. " Dogs are usually going to growl, " Bongiorno said. " But horses are usually much more approachable than a dog is, especially if you're using food. And if they're already confined in a barn area, they feel secure. " Brian Reeves, 41, and his wife own three horses that they keep on 180 acres off Cornell Road with other horse owners. Reeves said his horses weren't touched, but that one of the other dozen horses on the property was molested. " One was attacked on our property and molested with implements because there was some bleeding, " Reeves said, noting that they had a veterinarian look at the animal. " The horse's legs were hobbled. They couldn't have done those injuries to themselves. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
