A man called Joy has been accused of having sex with three dogs and a horse belonging to friends.
Travis Austin Joy, from Spokane County, Washington state, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon for allegedly filming seven videos that show him involved in sexual acts with animals.
He was detained when a video camera was found by a former roommate after he apparently moved out, and was handed over to animal protection staff.
The Spokane County Sheriff's Office said Joy, a three-time convicted felon, made the videos between October 2012 and February 2014.
He was charged with seven counts of first-degree animal cruelty for each video and then an additional two counts of harassment for threatening to kill the people who he believed reported him to the authorities.
The court heard an inquiry started in July when officers were handed videos, featuring Joy allegedly having sexual contact with three dogs, including one of his own, and a horse.
The court was told that after his arrest Joy admitted to a detective that he had recorded himself having sexual contact with the animals. He reportedly said he could watch the videos later and not need to repeat the acts.
Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service took custody of Joy's two dogs, even though only one was apparently observed in the videos.
Sigh.
