The type of behavior is disturbing
Well, let me clue you in here. This type of behavior is not only "disturbing", it just aint right.
I suppose this guy would see a dead deer and the blood would start flowing to his nether regions? Or is it while out hunting with his buddies, he kills a dear and forgoes the offer of help to gut it and string it up. "Thanks guys, but I'm gonna stay here and have some quiet time with my kill. Catch up to you in a few"
This is worse than the perv in Washington who was harrassing animals at a local farm. Police caught him on top of a step ladder trying to mount a cow if my memory is correct....or was it a horse.
SUPERIOR, Wis. - A Superior man was placed on probation Tuesday in connection with a charge he had sexual contact with a deer carcass.
Assistant District Attorney Jim Boughner entered a joint recommendation to withhold further sentencing for Bryan James Hathaway, 20, who earlier this month pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor.
Conditions were added to the sentence. In addition to one year probation, Hathaway must receive a sex offender evaluation and treatment at the Institute for Psychological and Sexual Health in Duluth. Probation will be served concurrent with a sentence Hathaway already is serving for mistreatment of an animal. He was found guilty of that charge in April 2005 after killing a horse with the intention of having sex with the animal. He was sentenced to 18 months confinement and two years of extended supervision for the felony.
In February, Hathaway was ordered to spend another nine months in jail for violating the terms of his extended release. He will remain in jail until mid-July and continue his extended supervision at that time.
The prosecution was more concerned Hathaway receive treatment than serve time for the misdemeanor charge. The Institute for Psychological and Sexual Health is the desired location for his treatment.
“The state believes that particular place is the best to provide treatment for the individual,” Boughner said. “I don’t think it is in the interest of this community that the defendant doesn’t receive treatment in the best place possible.”
Boughner expressed concern the Department of Corrections would not fund treatment at an out of state facility. Douglas County District Court Judge Michael Lucci accepted the joint recommendation and ordered Hathaway receive treatment at the Institute of Psychological and Sexual Health.
Lucci said he understood the Department of Corrections may have a problem with funding Hathaway’s treatment and is willing to hear the department’s arguments, but feels Hathaway should receive the best treatment.
“The type of behavior is disturbing. It’s disturbing to the public. It’s disturbing to the court,” he said. “If this requires special treatment, so be it.”
Hathaway’s attorney, Public Defender Fredric Anderson said the defense joined the state in its recommendation.
“There is nothing appropriate for him on this side of the bridge,” he said.
Luther Social Services offers treatment for sex offenders, but the organization doesn’t offer the right kind of treatment to serve Hathaway, Boughner said. Therapists at the Institute of Psychological and Sexual Health believe they can tailor a program to serve Hathaway.
“I think this is the best place locally,” Boughner said. “(We’re) not aware of any other programs in the state.”
Once Hathaway completes his extended supervision for the mistreatment conviction, he faces six years probation for taking and driving a vehicle without the owner’s consent. He was arrested for the auto theft in connection with the horse shooting incident.
“Mr. Hathaway is going to be under the Department of Corrections one way or another for seven-and-a-half years under my reckoning,” Lucci said.
Hathaway is also responsible for court costs associated with the case.
Lucci ended the hearing with some words to Hathaway, urging him to follow though with his treatment and comply with the rules of his probation.
