Police: Man charged with having sex with horse

A South Carolina man was charged with having sex with a horse after the animal's owner caught the act on videotape, then staked out the stable and caught him at shotgun point, authorities said today.



But this wasn't the first time Rodell Vereen has been charged with buggery. He pleaded guilty last year to having sex with the same horse after owner Barbara Kenley found him in the same stable and was sentenced to probation and placed on the state's sex offender list.



Kenley said she noticed several weeks ago her 21-year-old horse Sugar was acting strange and getting infections again. She noticed things in the barn had been moved around — dirt piled up and bales of hay stacked near the horse's stall at her Lazy B Stables in Longs, about 20 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach.

"Police kept telling me it couldn't be the same guy," Kenley said today. "I couldn't believe that there were two guys going around doing this to the same horse."

She spent several nights at the stables, which are about four miles from her home, but didn't find anything. So she installed surveillance cameras, and when she reviewed the footage from July 19, she couldn't believe she was seeing the same man doing the same thing to her horse.

Kenley didn't call police because she was certain the man would come back to the stable, and she wanted to make sure he was arrested. So she staked out the barn and caught Vereen inside Monday night, chasing him to his truck and holding him with her shotgun until police came.

"He said he wasn't there to do anything, and I said, 'I know you were. I have you on tape.' And then he said he was sorry if he hurt me," Kenley said.

Vereen, 50, was first charged with trespassing, but police added a buggery charge after watching the surveillance tape. He faces up to five years if convicted. Vereen was already on probation after pleading guilty to buggery last year and was sentenced to three years of probation, ordered to stay away from the Lazy B Stables and declared a sex offender. He remains in jail, awaiting a hearing Monday to determine if he violated his probation.

Officials said they did not know if he has an attorney.

Vereen has had mental problems for several years, but seemed to get better after getting court-ordered treatment last year, said his brother, the Rev. James Vereen, who lives just down the street from his brother and the stables.

"He's done all right when he was on the medicine. I don't know if he is still taking it," said James Vereen, who added his brother has kept to himself a lot in the last few months.

Horry County police don't often investigate animal sex allegations, spokesman Sgt. Robert Kegler said. In fact, he said the last person charged with buggery in the county was Rodell Vereen in late 2007.

Kenley said she caught him then too. She stopped by her stable on Thanksgiving Day and found a man asleep in the hay by her horse, who had been locked in her stall, a mound of dirt and a stool behind her.

She said she thought about shooting Vereen both times, but didn't want to go to prison.

"Everyone around here has horses," Kenley said. "And they all said the same thing. You should have shot him."

I'd need to see a full shot of the horse before I pass any judgment

The horses also mentioned that the guy wasn't very good in the hay.

I think this is the only picture available...

I smell a Triple Crown winner in a couple of years!!

At least he waited until the horse was 21, and he was faithful to it. I'm not sure I see the problem here.

HUNG!

Oh, sorry. I thought we were playing "Match Game '79" judging from the thread title.

ah yes the part of Horry County (pronounced Orrry County thank you very much) the rest of us living here ignore. And apprantly with good reason. :)

"Kenley said she noticed several weeks ago her 21-year-old horse Sugar was acting strange and getting infections again."

Sentences don’t get much more disturbing then that one.

Being that this is Souf Cuhlina, I assume they said this post-mugshot viewing, and pre hearing about the horse sex.

Buggery is an actual legal term?

Must have been a nightMare for that horse.

Hay, be nice!

Wow, I thought I remembered this story and it was the same dude and same horse from last year. Lets face it. It has to be love.

I thought it would be cool watching a horse fuck a girl. But it wasn't cool. It was a horse, fucking a girl. I felt bad for the girl. Actually, I kind of felt bad for the horse.

Umm... what.

I hate to think what he smells like.

A super disturbing story, but it is kind of funny to think he kept going back to the same horse. Do you think he had tried others, and they just didn't match up? Or did he have no interest in horses other than this one?

You've got to think his experience has probably prepared him for prison though.

I like that he went on the state's sex offender list. What do they list the crime/acts as?

"Buggery", apparently. They couldn't come up with a better term by now?

I don't know. I would think that if I was in prison I would stay clear of the guy that just can't resist fucking a horse. And the horse got infections? Yeah... I'm clearing a path for him.

Did he give an infection to the horse, or did the horse give him an infection? I think when we figure out the answer to this question, we will know who the killer is.

Oh, wrong thread.

Well....How about this guy?

I secretly ended up with a couple of cows in my younger, less picky days. But to have it in the paper is just embarrassing both for this cop, and the ladies he had drank pretty.

Agreed 100%

I'm very happy to see that this ISN'T in Washington this time...

You people find the most....bizarre stories....

Hey, Fucko, we like to call it inter-species erotica.

You just like the milk.

Makes for one hell of a tangy cheese.

Did you hear about the guy caught molesting a pony?

The officer asked him what the hell he was doing, and he said he couldn't answer the question because he was feeling a little hoarse.

Nay, just Naaaaaayyyyyyy

People tell me I'm hung like Einstein and smart as a horse.
