An Orangeburg County man has been accused of having sex with a puppy.

Freddie James, 79, made his first court appearance on Saturday after he was charged with buggery, the state’s law forbidding an individual from having sex with an animal.

Orangeburg County Magistrate Jacob Gillens set bond on the Vance man at $1,000 cash or surety.

On Friday, a woman reported a neighbor saw the suspect strike a dog in the head before committing a sex act with it, according to an Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office incident report.

That neighbor, in turn, called the woman. The neighbor gave a written statement to the Sheriff’s Office.

The brown pit bull-mixed puppy was found “scared, shaking” while trying to hide underneath a car, the report said.

The dog’s owner said the puppy would be taken to a veterinarian. Its actions of hiding and shaking were not normal, the owner said.

If James is found guilty of the felony, he could face up to five years in prison and a $500 fine.

Court records show James has never been charged with a crime in Orangeburg County.

This is a regular occurrence out in Africa, with animals often being abused in this way. Thankfully this is just a news-clip and does not contain footage of the act. It does contain film of the court room though, where the goat was actually brought in as a witness.

A 20-year-old man, Malam Kamisu Baranda has been arrested by Jigawa State Police Command for allegedly having sexual intercourse with a goat at Baranda forest in Dutse Local Government Area.

The chief magistrate’s court sitting in Dutse has ordered the remand of the boy, Malam Kamisu Baranda, in prison for two weeks.

Magistrate Auwalu Sani Balago said the accused person did not confess that he committed the act but the court remanded him to allow police make further inquiries.

Kamisu was said to have admitted that the goat belonged to him and that he had asked the goat to have sexual intercourse with him but he was arrested by the village head of the area and handed over to the police.

He explained that this was not the first time of having sex with animals inside bush because he has done it over 10  times and was never arrested.

He regretted that if he knew that he would be arrested, he would have not tried it because it was the reason why he did not make love with women in the area.

He said animals satisfied his demand, that is why he is not after women in the state just to avoid embarrassment but still he found himself ambushed by people in the area.

He called on the court to do justice for him because he knows that what he did was an offence to a society and against the Islamic injunctions.
