Bestiality Thread LXIX

[Naked Gents Rut]

Meet Michelle Owen. Concerned that an ex-boyfriend had used her laptop to search for child pornography, the Indiana woman asked police to search the computer for illegal images, but had her plan backfire when cops discovered two videos of her engaged in illicit acts with a dog. Owen, 24, was charged last week with two felony bestiality counts in connection with the video files, which a detective found in the laptop's "recycle bin." At the time Owen asked cops to search the computer, she was locked up in the Johnson County Jail on a public intoxication charge (which violated the terms of her release in a prior drunk driving case). According to a police affidavit, a copy of which you'll find here, a cop told Owen that he had found videos of her on the laptop and asked if she "knew what those files might be." Owen, pictured in the below mug shot, replied, "The one with the dog." Cops believe that the dog in question, Toby, is a beagle. After asking if she was "going to be charged with this," Owen said that the videos "were just something she did when she was drunk and barely remembers it," adding that she tried to "delete them the next day when she was sober."

Why is bestiality a felony in Indiana? What two consenting adults do in their own bedroom is their own business. Okay, one drunk adult and a dog.

isn't it a felony all over the US?
also, it's not like she went all the way with it. that'd be bad. dogs like licking things. it's not like the dog was harmed. although the smoking is bad i suppose.

As Stephen Fry points out in "The Hippopotamus", horses like licking sugar cubes too. Where the sugar cube is placed makes all the difference.

I've heard that peanut butter works well and takes some time to lick off, but I swear I have no experience to speak of, niether have I observed anyone else.

I think it's safe to say that very few men in the world would want an animal with sharp teeth licking their junk.

Yes, it would scratch all the paint off.

Reading through the actual report on the site, here's my armchair legal analysis of it:

Laptop had vids of her committing a class D felony. Her responses to the police all but confirm this and I can't see her avoiding a guilty verdict on this.

The police then asked her if she wants to withdraw her consent for the search. She said no. The search will continue.

Assuming that her initial suspicions are justified, her boyfriend will be charged with possession of child pornography. He'll almost certainly lose custody of the kid.

The kid is unlikely to be placed in her custody, now that Child Protection Services know she engaged in a sex-related felony. She won't get what she wants, which is custody of the kid. She may succeed in eliminating the boyfriend's custody of the kid, which just means the kid will go to CPS.

Granted, this way well be the best thing for the kid, but in the short term it's hard to see how this woman's interests are being served in any way by her actions.

I also wonder whether the boyfriend could be held liable for aiding and abetting the felony. He definitely encouraged her to take part, even if he did not take part himself.

Lawyers. Sometimes, they can be useful.

He must have filmed this farce. Is that abbetting a class D felony?
