A Phoenix, Arizona man has been arrested and charged after surveillance video shows him committing bestiality on his mother's horse.
On July 22, a woman told authorities that she caught her son, Kenneth Sellner, 21, on her security cameras committing bestiality on their property, a press release from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said.
Sellner’s mother told deputies that she asked him to clean the horse stalls while she went on vacation. When she reviewed the surveillance footage to see if he had completed his chores, she saw him performing sex acts on the horse.
In the footage, Sellner was seen touching the horse’s genitals and rubbing the horse’s genitals on his bare body, deputies said.
She died riding her beloved horse:Now, it will be on Olympic stage in her memory.
'One thing led to another'
After seeing the video, officials said Sellner’s mother canceled her trip and went home to confront her son.
Deputies said that Sellner told his mother that he was cleaning the horse. However, his mother said there was no water, soap, or gloves present while he was with the horse.
The mother then told Sellner to leave her house and contacted the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office to report the incidents and provide the surveillance footage.
When the mom presented the evidence to deputies, it was reviewed. Officials confirmed that Sellner had committed bestiality on two different occasions.
Sellner was then located at a friend’s apartment. He was then taken into custody, deputies said.
After being read his Miranda rights, Sellner admitted to deputies that he did touch the horse’s genitals while cleaning the stalls. He claims that the horse’s genitals were “flaky” and that “one thing led to another.”
'This crime is beyond reprehensible'
Sellner was booked on July 24 at the Maricopa County Jail and is facing two counts of bestiality charges.
"This crime is beyond reprehensible. I commend our detectives for promptly removing this predator from society," Sheriff Russ Skinner said in a statement. "Let this serve as a reminder to always be vigilant and report criminal behavior, no matter who the perpetrator is."
