(CORVALLIS, Ore. ) - A Corvallis teenager has been arrested after a surveillance camera captured him preparing to sexually abuse a horse inside a barn.
The Benton County Sheriff's Office says the owners of the barn installed the camera after reporting an assault on the horse last summer.
In February, the owners noticed the halter of their mare had been moved, as well as some food dishes.
When police checked the video, they saw a young man sexually assaulting the horse. The 17-year-old was arrested at the barn.
The teenager faces charges of burglary and sexual abuse of an animal.
He was taken to the Linn-Benton Detention Center where he was arraigned and released.
His next court appearance is a hearing on June 20th.
