CONWAY, S.C. - A man caught having sex with a horse in a South Carolina stable has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Multiple media outlets report that Rodell Vereen was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to buggery. A judge also ordered Vereen to get counseling and stay away from the Lazy B stables when he's released.

Authorities charged Vereen, 50, after a woman set up a surveillance camera and caught him on tape having sex with her horse in July. Horse owner Barbara Kenley said she had noticed her 21-year-old horse Sugar was acting strangely. She also noticed things had been moved around near the horse's stall at her stables in Longs, about 20 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach.



Vereen has had mental problems for several years, but seemed to get better after getting court-ordered treatment last year, said his brother, the Rev. James Vereen, in earlier interviews. The brother lives just down the street from his brother and the stables.

"He's done all right when he was on the medicine. I don't know if he is still taking it," said James Vereen in a July interview.

You have to register as a sex offender for banging a horse? I'm not so sure I'm in favor of that. I know it's unsavory and wrong to bang a horse but I'm not so sure I want to put this guy in the same category as pedophiles and rapists. Despite what that old lady says I'm pretty sure Sugar won't be marred by this her whole life. The three year sentence is probably okay. Maybe he could teach himself some self control and how to say "nay." I'm just hoping the next time someone drops the soap this guy doesn't see furry hinequarters in his head.
