Feb. 24, 2000 | A beastly marauder who has been menacing the ranches and stables of Southern California has been hauled into court, reports Malibu's City News Service. Daniel Bruce House, a 54-year-old carrot peddler who sells to Agoura Hills horse owners and caretakers, confessed to a sheriff's deputy that he performed brutal sex acts on both male and female horses.

After a preliminary hearing, Malibu Superior Court Judge Lawrence Mira determined that the hoof-humping defendant must stand trial on a dozen charges: six felony counts of animal cruelty and six misdemeanor counts of having sex with a horse.

The mare and stallion molester was first arrested in June under suspicion of perpetrating a series of strange wounds on horses. After he was freed on bail, he immediately returned to his unnatural acts of eques-erotica, said Deputy District Attorney Martin Herscovitz.

The horses all had similar injuries on their rear legs indicating that they had been tightly hobbled, then maimed themselves in their struggle against their confinement. One horse suffered a severe injury to a front leg after it stumbled and fell forward. Two of the mares displayed painful tears in their vaginas.

Bestiality is rarely tried in the United States and is not even listed as a crime in 22 states, according to "A Guide to America's Sex Laws" by Richard A. Posner and Katherine B. Silbaugh.

Only 15 states prosecute animal rape as a felony: Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Virginia.
