Mallette Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) ...Texarkana, my home town. Front page of the "Gazette" included this headline: "Man accused of having sex with horse." After decades of living in big cities with the weekly rapes, home invasions, and general murder and mayhem I found this oddly refreshing. "I proceeded to walk toward a field where there were miniature mares. Upon finding them, I took it upon myself to fondle and later have sex with the animal." Now, the sheriff had issues apparently with whether or not this was consensual or whether it could be with certainty called animal cruelty or not. So, he was charged with criminal trespass to make the whole thing easier for all. The horse will spared having to testify. So, if you pass through Texarkana, your women and children are safe. But make sure you keep your horses in a secure, well lit area. This is NOT a joke... Dave Edited December 13, 2015 by Mallette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) I can see this thread taking a downward spiral to the Dark Side, fast. I'll start. +++ So Dave, if the man charged with a crime did what the headline said he did, but was with a pony instead of a horse, could he be charged with statutory rape? We can't just guess about this, we need to be sure as this may impact plans for some people traveling to Texas, depending of course upon what you like to do on your vacation. This is The Internet and we need some expert opinions! Where's our Texas lawyers to weigh-in on this?

Mallette Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Well, as I don't pay attention to which side of the line these things happen in as it's only one city to the "natives," if he crossed the state line with a filly to commit his crimes that could be a violation of the Mann Act.

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted December 13, 2015 Moderators Share Posted December 13, 2015 It is not specifically a crime in Texas, as in most states, to gave sex with an animal. Prosecutors are left with having to prosecute the case under the animal cruelty statute. It has long been the subject of jokes and quips at criminal law and law enforcement seminars. To prove their case they have to bring in an expert, usually a veterinarian, to testify that harm occurred to the animal. I don't think consent is ever the issue. This is what happens when you allow goat ropers and sheep hearders in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Don't bring Texas into this until we know what side of Main Street the loving occurred. Edit: I googled a story about this, it was in Arkansas and it's a good thing that the Fouke monster didn't get him.

USNRET Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Was the horse male, female or transgender? There might be some other legal provisions that apply..................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Well, councilor, you should have more facts. The owners of the chattel had a restraining order against the guy entering the property. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be some other legal provisions that apply..................... The gender might have mattered up until 2003 when Texas' sodomy law (and by implication 12 other states' as well) was held unconstitutional under Lawrence v. Texas.

If it became known that the person didn't like horses would it then become a hate crime? And since the horse was probably not wearing clothes, is is a defense that the horse was probably asking for it?

USNRET Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Dave, I don't think we have been given your new address relative to east/west of main street; are you still a Texan or do you require a green card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
