#Kentucky finally indicts someone for bestiality

A Kentucky man and woman were indicted for allegedly engaging in a sex act with a dog —  the first bestiality charges filed since the state passed a law banning it last year, according to a report.

Nolene Renee Horn, 44, and Christopher Jones, 50, allegedly had “sexual contact” with the pooch in Maysville on November 3, and now face more than three months behind bars, the Lexington Herald Leader reported.

“This type of heinous and obscene crime cannot go unpunished,” Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said while announcing the indictment, which was filed Monday.

The charges handed down by a Mason County grand jury are believed to be Kentucky’s first since the state passed a law in 2019, making sexual crimes against an animal a felony, the paper reported. That law went into effect on June 27, 2019.

The allegedly pervy pair “engaged in sexual contact with a dog and/or aided another person to engage in sexual contact with a dog,” according to court docs cited by FOX 19. But other details of the incident, including how and where the attack occurred, were not immediately clear.

The Maysville police department provided forensic evidence in order to charge the pair with two counts of sexual crimes against an animal and two counts of torture of a dog, according to the outlet. The crimes are punishable by up to 120 days in prison and a $500 fine.

Bestiality is still legal in several other states including West Virginia, Nevada, and Ohio.
