A man, covered in blood and fur, was taken into custody for allegedly engaging in sexual activity with a deceased deer.
Allen Osborne, aged 32, was apprehended following a report from a witness who claimed to have seen him in the act with the deer. The witness promptly contacted 911 around 7 pm on Saturday, providing a detailed description of Osborne. Upon police arrival at the location in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, they identified Osborne based on the description provided.
As stated in the police citation, officers approached Osborne shortly after the alert and discovered blood on his hands and face. Subsequently, the officers found Osborne with his pants down, blood, and deer fur on his person, leading to his arrest that Saturday evening.
Osborne faces charges related to sexual offenses against animals, with ongoing investigations by the authorities into the disturbing allegations against him. The Central City Police Department (CCPD) in Kentucky confirmed that Osborne hails from Muhlenberg County and is currently detained at the local detention center.
He is being held on a bail amount of $5,000 (£3,656). The CCPD has been contacted for further comments by The Mirror. Sexual crimes against animals, under Kentucky law, involve any act between a person and an animal for purposes of sexual arousal, gratification, abuse, or financial motives.
According to Kentucky legislation, a person can be guilty of such a crime by engaging in sexual contact with an animal, advertising or soliciting such acts, or owning animals for such purposes. The offense is classified as a Class D felony with penalties of up to five years imprisonment and a fine of $10,000 (£7,400).
Additionally, the guilty party may be required to relinquish custody of all animals under their control, undergo a treatment program, and reimburse costs for the care and treatment of the animal involved. They are also prohibited from owning, harboring, or working with animals for a specified period post-sentence.
