Male, White, Blond hair, Hazel eyes, 5'7 " 190# California Driver's license#

CA M0707843

 

Trial was Jan 20th 2000 at Malibu Courthouse, awaiting results.

 

I have on request omitted certain details as to address, names of the victims

and animals.

 

The original was typed in all upper case and had a few typo's I corrected,

and margin notes in pen correcting minor details such as the horses names- I

omitted.

 

Legislation is now being sponsored in the state of Missouri, 23 other states

will be appraoched as well which do not have laws against sex with animals,

help support this bi-partisan!! legislation by visiting the representative's

web pages, reading their introduced 2000 legislation (full text will up 1/24)

and thanking them for protecting the animals. Please also suggest they

include mandatory psychological intervention and prohibition from working

with or owning animals as part of probation:

SHERIFF DEPT. REPORT

 

CASE #499-03323-2212-339

PAGE 3 OF 7

 

I RESPONDED TO xxxx xxxxxxx ROAD IN THE CITY OF AGOURA REGARDING A POSSIBLE

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS REPORT CALL @115. UPON ARRIVING I CONTACTED THE INFORMANT

WHO TOLD ME THE FOLLOWING:

 

ON TODAY'S DATE, SHE NOTICED THAT SEVERAL OF THE HORSES HOUSED AT THE STABLES

(xxxx xxxxxx ROAD) HAD STRANGE INJURIES THAT THE INJURIES TO THE ANIMALS WERE

NOT THERE THE PREVIOUS DAY BECAUSE SHE IS ONE OF THE CARETAKERS OFTHE STABLES

AND VISITS THE HORSES ON A DAILY BASIS. SHE SAID SHE FEEDS, WALKS, RIDES,

CLEANS, WATERS, AND CARES FOR THE HORSES INCLUDING GIVING THEM MEDICAL

ATTENTION WHEN NEEDED FROM APPROXIMATELY 1000 IN THE MORNING TO APPROXIMATELY

1700 HOURS ON A DAILEY BASIS.

TODAY HOWEVER, SHE NOTICED THAT [MARE#1] A BLACK/GREY QUARTER HORSE (WHICH

BELONGED TO V#1 MRS X) HAD A SMALL AMOUNT OF BLOOD PURGING FROM HER VAGINA.

DUE TO THE FACT THAT BLOOD PURGING FROM A HORSES VAGINA IS USUALLY INDICATIVE

OF AN INFECTION, SHE IMMEDIATELY CHECKED [MARE#1] TEMPERATURE AND CHECKED FOR

PUSS WHICH ALSO ACCOMPANIES A VAGINAL INFECTION. SHE DID NOT SEE ANY PUSS AND

CONFIRMED THAT THE HORSES TEMPERATURE WAS NORMAL. BASED ON HER TRAINING AND

EXPERIENCE WITH HORSES, SHE KNEW THAT ONE OF THE OTHER OPTIONS THAT MAY BE

CAUSING THIS DISCHARGE, WOULD BE SOME FORM OF PENETRATION. SHE TOLD ME THAT

THE HORSE WAS NOT PREPARED TO BREED, SHE WAS NOT IN BREEDING SEASON, AND

THEIR HAD NOT BEEN A STALLION/MALE HORSE AT THE STABLES CAPABLE OF MATING

WITH [MARE#1] FOR OVER TWO YEARS.

 

SHE CONDUCTED A QUICK CURSORY EXAMINATION OF [MARE#1] AND FOUND THAT HER LEFT

FRONT LEG HAD BEEN BADLY INJURED AS EVIDENCE BY AN APPROXIMATE 3 INCH CUT

ALONG THE KNEE, THE SKIN WAS TORN BACK TO A POINT THAT EXPOSED THE FLESH AND

BONE OF THE FRONT OF THE KNEE, AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF BLOOD DRIPPING FROM IT.

499-03323-2212-339

 

SHE THEN CONDUCTED A QUICK CURSORY EXAMINATION OF ALL THE HORSES AT THE

STABLE AND FOUND THAT [ MARE#2 ] A TAN QUARTER HORSE (ALSO OWNED BY V#1 MRS.

X) AND MS. Y (OWNED BB. V#2 MRS. Z) HAD INJURIES TO BOTH BACK LEGS BELOW THE

KNEE AS EVIDENCE BY SEVERAL SCRATCHES,SCRAPES,SMALL AMOUNTS OF BLOOD DRIPPING

FROM THE LEGS AND SEVERE SWELLING. THESE INJURIES WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE

HORSES BEING RESTRAINED OR TIED UP BELOW THE KNEE. SHE SAID THAT HOBBLING A

FEMALE HORSE IS COMMON WHEN BREEDING SO THAT THEY DON'T KICK THE STALLION

HOWEVER, SHE ADDED THAT THE HORSES DON'T GET INJURED USING THESE RESTRAINTS

UNLESS THE HOBBLES ARE FASHIONED TO A POINT WHICH RESTRICTS THE HORSES HIND

LEGS FROM MOVING AT ALL.

 

SHE NOTIFIED THE HORSES OWNERS OF HER FINDINGS. V#l MRS. X RESPONDED TO THE

SCENE. I ASKED HER IF SHE KNEW HOW HER HORSES WERE INJURED AND SHE SAID THAT

HER HORSES HAD SIMILAR INJURIES IN THE PAST WHEN THEY WERE ALLEGEDLY SEXUALLY

ASSAULTED. SHE ADDED THAT SHE AGREED WITH THE INFORMANTS OPINION IN THAT

BLOODY VAGINAL DISCHARGE IS USUALLY INDICATIVE OF AN INFECTION AND IS

ACCOMPANIED WITH A FEVER AND A WHITE PUSS DISCHARGE. AND THAT THE INJURIES TO

THE HIND LEGS OF [MARE] WOULD INDICATE THAT SHE HAD BEEN HOBBLED OR

RESTRAINED BY SOME MECHANISM THAT WAS FASHIONED TIGHT ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE

HORSE FROM MOVING OR KICKING BACK. SHE ADDED THAT SHE HAD FILED A POLICE

REPORT IMPLICATING THAT SUSPECT APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AND HALF AGO BECAUSE THE

SUSPECT HAD A HISTORY OF ABUSING THESE ANIMALS. (IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE

SUSPECT DOES IN FACT HAVE A PRIOR CONVICTION FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY AND IS ON

SUMMARY PROBATION).

 

PAGE 5 OF 7 499-03323-2212-339

 

I ASKED THE INFORMANT IF SHE KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THE VICTIMS STATEMENT AND

SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD ALSO FILED A POLICE REPORT IMPLICATING THE SUSPECT

BECAUSE APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AND A HALF AGO SHE HAD ACTUALLY CAUGHT HIM IN

THE MIDST OF PREPARING ONE OF HER HORSES FOR WHAT SHE ASSUMED WAS A SEXUAL ASS

AULT.

WHEN SHE CONFRONTED THE SUSPECT, SHE HAD APPARENTLY SURPRISED HIM AND WAS

ABLE TO WARD HIM OFF THE COMPOUND. SHE SAID SHE SAW HIM RUNNING AWAY AND

YELLED AT HIM TO STAY AWAY. WHEN SHE APPROACHED THE AREA WHERE SHE ASSUMES

THE SUSPECT HAD BEEN, SHE NOTICED THAT THE GROUND WAS LITTERED WITH ROTTEN

CARROTS. SHE SAID THAT APPARENTLY THIS IS HOW HE LURES THE HORSES OUT OF THE

PENS AND KEEPS THEM OCCUPIED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE SUSPECT SOMETIMES

SELLS 50 POUND BAGS OF CARROTS AS HIS FORM OF REVENUE. THE INFORMANT ALSO

ADDED THAT ON TODAY'S DATE, SHE SAW THE SUSPECT AT xxxxx AND xxxxxxxxx WHICH

IS A LOCATION HE FREQUENTS.

AS I LEFT THE LOCATION AND HEADED TO xxxxx ROAD AND xxxxxxxxx IN THE CITY OF

AGOURA SAW A MALE WHITE, (IDENTIFIED AS THE SUSPECT) SELLING 50 POUND BAGS OF

CARROTS OUT OF HIS TRUCK AT THE 4100 BLOCK OF xxxx ROAD THIS LOCATION IS

APPROXIMATELY X MILES FROM THE STABLES. I CONTACTED HIM TO ASCERTAIN HIS

VERSION OF THE STORY. I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD BEEN TO THE STABLES LOCATED AT

XXXX xxxxxxx ROAD AND HE IMMEDIATELY REPLIED YEAH, I'VE BEEN THERE 300 TIMES.

I ASKED IF HE HAD A HORSE THERE THAT WOULD GIVE HIM A REASON FOR BEING THERE

AND HE SAID

 

No, ANIMAL CONTROL TOOK MY ANIMALS AWAY. HE THEN SPONTANEOUSLY SAID, THE

HUMAN RACE HAS REJECTED ME. SO I'VE TURNED TO THE ANIMALS WHO LOVE ME.

 

PAGE 6 OF 7 499-03323-2212-339

 

BECAUSE OF HIS ODD STATEMENT CLAIMING THAT HE HAD BEEN REJECTED BY THE HUMAN

RACE, I READ HIM HIS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS IN WHICH HE SAID HE UNDERSTOOD AND

WAIVED. I ASKED HIM IF HE COULD CLARIFY HIS STATEMENT THAT THE ANIMALS LOVED

HIM. AND HE SAID THAT HE'S BEEN HAVING SEX WITH ANIMALS SINCE HE WAS 12 YEARS

OLD. HE HAD HIS OWN SELECTION OF ANIMALS THAT WERE CONFISCATED BY ANIMAL

CONTROL BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO CARE FOR THEM ADEQUATELY.

 

HE FURTHER ADDED THAT HE HAD IN FACT VISITED THE STABLES IN QUESTION OVER THE

PREVIOUS NIGHT CLAIMING THAT HE COULD NOT HELP HIMSELF.

AS HE MADE THE STATEMENT THAT HE COULD NOT HELP HIMSELF, HE BEGAN TO SWEAT

AND SAID,

 

IT'S NOT AGAINST THE LAW TO HAVE SEX WITH ANIMALS.

 

HE SAID HE HAD LAID IN HIS BED AND MASTURBATED BUT NEEDED THE HORSES TO

SATISFY HIM. HE SAID HE WENT TO THE STABLES AND HAD SEX WITH ONE OF THE

HORSES. HE COULD NOT TELL ME WHICH ONE OF THE HORSES HE HAD SEXUAL

INTERCOURSE WITH BUT ADAMANTLY ADDED THAT THE PHYSICAL ACT OF LOVE WAS

CONSENSUAL. HE SAID HE NEVER FORCED HIMSELF ON ANY ANIMAL. I ASKED HIM IF HE

HAD RESTRAINED THE LEGS AND AGAIN ADAMANTLY DENIED FORCING ANY ANIMAL TO DO

ANYTHING. I ASKED HIM HOW LONG IT TOOK HIM TO COMPLETE HIS ACT AND HE SAID

HOURS.

 

DUE TO THE FOLLOWING:

 

1. THE HISTORY OF SEXUAL ASSAULTS ON THE VICTIMS ANIMALS.

2. THE HISTORY OF THE SUSPECT REGARDING ANIMAL CRUELTY.

3. THE FACT THAT THE SUSPECT IS ON SUMMARY PROBATION FOR 597.

4. THE SEROUS INJURY TO THE VAGINA IS CONSISTENT WITH FOREIGN PENETRATION.

5. THE LACK OF A STALLION OR MALE HORSE BEING PRESENT FOR BREEDING.

6. THE INJURIES TO THE LEGS OF THE HORSES ARE INDICATIVE OF BEING

RESTRAINED.

 

PAGE 7 OF 7 499-03323-2212-330

 

1. THE FACT THAT THE INFORMANT CARES FOR THE HORSES DAILY AND WOULD HAVE

NOTICED ANY INJURY.

 

2. THE FACT THE SUSPECT SELLS CARROTS AND CARROTS WERE FOUND IN AND ABOUT

THE HORSE STABLES.

 

3. THE FACT THAT THE SUSPECTS CARROTS FOR SALE SIGN WAS FOUND IN ONE OF THE

STALLS.

 

FURTHER SUPPORTED BY THE FACT THE SUSPECT OPENLY ADMITTED TO HAVING SEX WITH

THE ANIMALS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS INCLUDING THE NIGHT IN QUESTION.

DUE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED, THE SEVERITY OF THE HORSES INJURIES, AND HIS

CONFESSION, I ARRESTED HIM ACCORDINGLY. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE ANIMALS

INJURIES AND PLACED IT IN THE EVIDENCE ROOM PENDING THE FILM PROCESSING

PROCEDURES. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE PHOTOS ARE DEPICTING THE INJURIES TO

[ MARE#1 ] AND [ MARE#2 ] ONLY, [ MARE#3 ] WAS SOLD PRIOR TO ME BEING ABLE TO

PHOTOGRAPH THE INJURIES AND MRS. Z COULD NOT BE REACHED.

 

ALL PARTIES WERE ADVISED TO SEEK A RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST THE SUSPECT AS

ANOTHER TOOL TO KEEP HIM AWAY FROM THEIR HORSES.

 

HE WAS TRANSPORTED TO AND BOOKED AT LOST HILLS STATION WITH THE APPROVAL OF

WATCH COMMANDER SGT. JONES.

 

END OF REPORT
