Human depravity knows no bounds.
Deer molester back behind bars

A man convicted of having sex with a deer carcass in October 2006 will spend another nine months in jail.
Judge Michael Lucci handed down the sentence Friday during a reconfinement hearing.
Bryan James Hathaway, 21, had his probation revoked Dec. 11 for violations that include using of alcohol and marijuana, lying to a probation agent, having contact with a minor child and sexual relations with another adult without agent approval.
Lucci also ordered six months behind bars in connection with a 2005 conviction for killing a horse. Hathaway told police he killed the animal in order to have sex with it.
The sentences run concurrently.
Hathaway had just been released from prison for the horse killing when the deer incident occurred.
While Hathaway?s attorney, Frederic Anderson, sought a four-month sentence for the probation violations, Lucci noted this was not the first time probation was revoked in connection with the horse killing. He followed recommendations made by the District Attorney?s office.
Hathaway is currently appealing his conviction in connection with the deer incident. The appeal hinges on whether sex with a dead animal meets the criteria of law and whether statements made to a probation agent in front of a police officer influenced statements Hathaway made to the officer.
A decision by the 3rd District Court of Appeals could take between six weeks to six months to be rendered.
