According to USA Today, 62-year-old James Guy Bull pleaded guilty to two counts of felony cruelty to animals, misdemeanor animal cruelty charges and misdemeanor sexual activities involving animals, prosecutors said. He was to face trial on the charges.
After the sentence was handed down on Friday, State Attorney R.J. Larizza said:
The facts of this case are incomprehensible and vile. The defendant's abuse of the helpless dog shocks the collective conscience of the citizens of the Seventh Circuit and beyond.On March 18, two of Bull's neighbors came forward, claiming they had seen him fondling the dog's private parts on several occasions, despite cries and yelps from the animal named Coco.
One of the prosecutors - Bull's neighbour, stepped forward to say he was once walking near Bull's apartment when he shockingly caught him having sexual intercourse with a dog. When Bull saw him, he pulled up his pants and put the dog down, the prosecutor narrated.
The police reported that when they arrived at Bull's home, they found the small "clearly emaciated" dog chained to a post on the front porch.
"She had about 8 inches of free reign, no water, no shelter and no food for her," an affidavit said. The dog showed signs of physical sexual abuse and was "skittish and obviously afraid."The dog, now named Rose, is safe in the custody of an animal rescue group. [Source: USA Today.]
