Treatment Ordered For Man Convicted of Having Sex With
Dead Deer
Posted: March 21, 2007
SUPERIOR, Wis. (AP) -- A 20-year-old Superior man received probation
after he was convicted of having sexual contact with a dead deer.
The sentence also requires Bryan James Hathaway to be evaluated
as a sex offender and treated at the Institute for Psychological
and Sexual Health in Duluth, Minn.
"The state believes that particular place is the best to provide
treatment for the individual," Assistant District Attorney Jim
Boughner said.
Hathaway's probation will be served at the same time as a nine-month
jail sentence he received in February for violating his extended
supervision.
He was found guilty in April 2005 of felony mistreatment of an
animal after he killed a horse with the intention of having sex
with it. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail and two years of
extended supervision on that charge as well as six years of probation
for taking and driving a vehicle without the owner's consent.
Hathaway pleaded no contest earlier this month to misdemeanor
mistreatment of an animal for the incident involving the deer.
He was sentenced Tuesday in Douglas County Circuit Court.
"The type of behavior is disturbing," Judge Michael Lucci said.
"It's disturbing to the public. It's disturbing to the court."
