HORSE SEX SHAME OF BOY, 16

TWO young women out enjoying a stroll in a beauty spot were horrified to find a teen having sex with a horse, a court heard.

The 16-year-old lad had hold of the female foal by its tail during the incident in a paddock.

Leicester Crown Court was told the defendant “looked shocked” when he realised he had been seen.

He stopped what he was doing and fled on his bicycle.

Alan Murphy, prosecuting, said the two witnesses, aged 17 and 21, were walking in between two paddocks at Leicester’s picturesque Aylestone Meadows when they stumbled across the sickening scene.

Mr Murphy said: “They realised, by the boy’s actions, that he was having sexual intercourse with the foal. “They were very shocked. “The police were called and took HORSE PIC: Posed by model swabs from the horse’s genital area.”

They obtained bodily fluid and DNA from the culprit, but no match was found at that time.

But he was arrested in March this year on suspicion of an unrelated matter that was not proceeded with – resulting in the police computer matching his DNA to the earlier crime scene in the paddock.

Mr Murphy added: “In interview, he admitted the offence, but initially claimed he was forced to do it by a Polish man.

“He said his ‘head wasn’t in a good place’ at the time.”

The teenager, from Braunstone, Leicester, pleaded guilty to the charge of having sexual intercourse with an animal and he was placed on an 18-month community order.
