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 today 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 after a woman set up a surveillance camera and caught him on tape having sex with her horse in July. Horse owner Barbara Kenley says she staked out the stable and caught Vereen sneaking into the barn days later, holding him at shotgun point until police arrived.
Kenley had seen Vereen before. He pleaded guilty last year to having sex with the same horse and was put on probation and ordered to register as a sex offender.

what the h e l l?
Whoa!
What a SICK man!!!!
What has the ABJ become..a supermarket tabloid? Disgusting incident and NOT newsworthy.
As disgusting as this is, the 3 yr sentence seems extreme. People rape and murder and get less time.
Now there will be some "horses" buggering old Vereen.
They will be two legged horses.
did he sedate the horse?
weird...
Whatever floats yer boat!!??!!?
OHOH Wiilllbuurrr.
Rodell Vereen... buggery... Lazy B stables...
He was riding the baloney pony.
It was probably the horse who enticed him into having sex, walking around shaking her arse wagging her tail. What kind of horse would give it up to a man without at least dinner and a movie.
@murphy - Good line!!
But if he would have had sex with another man that would have been ok? And labeled as a sex offender? The guy is sick and needs help but i dont think he offended anyone but the horese
He is not going to get anything done to him in prison, most likely.
Administrative Segregation (AdSeg) is where he probably will end up.
For his own sick good.
Atta boy ABJ. Keep 'em coming......
Love knows no boundaries...
Some of you people need to read the article, he was on probation for the SAME crime...that's why he got 3 years and needs to register as a sex offender.
Funny UseCommonSense!
After getting busted with the same horse twice, "Why can't I quit you?" came to mind.
He pleaded guilty last year to having sex with the same horse and was put on probation and ordered to register as a sex offender.
Who in the hell is going to check up on a sex offender horse lover? Animal control.and what will the horse say heeeeeheehee did it.
This man clearly is not of "stable" mind. Oh wait. Yes he is.
Why buy the cow when you can get the horse for free?
Was the horse hot? Come on ABJ - where's the pics?
This is David Locher all over again, just a different county this time.
Welcome to South Carolina...
johnsmith - good one!!!
maybe he had mad horse disease.
registering him as a sex offender is ridiculous. he banged a horse and not a human.
Okay, but it's not clear? Obviously he failed to pay for this Whorse?
ArfWoof...
I did find the horse picture and I must say we may be wrong about this guy....
"http://www.visualjokes.com/pics/hw.jpg"
I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating hay!
johnsmith, that's the line of the week!!! Still wiping pepsi from my monitor.
Ha!
an old Merle Haggard song popped into my head..."It's not love...but...it's not bad" as the violin screeches away.
In the old days they shot a man for stealing a horse. I wonder what they would do to this sicko?
Nay means Nay!
That's what I was trying to do!
Maybe he was a PhD. Palomino Horsey Doctor. He was just giving a physical. You know a yearly check pu, yeah thats it.
Richard Burton would be proud. i.e Equis
He was just horsing around..... LOL!!!!!!
What a sick MF.
guess he likes packing road apples....
Lets see what the evolutionists can do with this one
The horse was a blonde, and he rode her like a real cowboy.....HEEEEHEHE :)
send this man to a mental hospital
cause jail wont help him.
He likes ridin dirty....
@noclue
I didn't know a routine physical exam included receiving a beef injection.
At least he was monogamous.
c'mon baby, neigh like a horse......
wow.... sad...
@Jason 12
Don't you think it's kind of sick to have sex with a horse???? They registered him as a sex offender because he is SICK!!!! And who's to say he won't hurt a human or pass a disease on to a person? He's not normal. The guy was busted before and he has been in and out of mental facilities. However, he decided on his own to stop taking his medicine. And, since some of you don't bother to read before you post, he has cost the owner quite a bit of money in vet bills because every time he has sex with this horse, it gets an infection. That's why she decided to stake out the stable and catch the creep. Would you want this guy sticking it in a human? Ewwwww, gross.
The horse was a blonde, he rode her
like a real cowboy......HEEEEHEHE!
Send this man to a mental hospital
cause prison wont help him.
i still want to know how he didn't get hurt - i would think the horse could have and would have kicked the he** out of him.
of all the stupid sick things ive read lately this has to be the worst guy needs srious help!!!
ABJ! Stop removing posts that are innocent! I'm sick of your censorship!
OMG USECOMMENSENSE LMAO!!!1HAHAHA NICE SADDLE
If this guy can take it from a horse, jail should be easy.
Did he ride the horse bare-back, or did he use protection?
So whats the problem? Was the horse under age?
That is so crazy and sick, Wow !!!
Andrew, that's some funny stuff.
Maybe someone told him he was hung like a horse.
Was the horse male or female and was there a ladder involved?
I feel bad for the other horses, they must feel left out and wondering why not them.
Barbara Kenley was just upset because he chose the horse over her.
Some funny jokes there.(@Ron Mexico, johnsmith2009,
and Murphy). But that guy is a real sicko. What did the guy use; a ladder or a step stool?Puts a whole new meaning to: mount your horses, men.
PIT BULL GIRL, are you related to this cowboy you sure seem to know more then the article states???
after all you have a name like "pit bull girl"
the incredible mr.ed now, can you be sure it was a lady horsie?? that chick with the saddle is kinda of hot, so does that mean i need a shrink? or some K Y? You know, the new stuff where the water spray goes like 25 feet into the air? woah! trigger has a whole new meaning. ahoy, silver !! perhaps those cowboys knew something we don't?
are u serious?? lol wow!!
And this story needed to be published in the Beacon Journal because...?
@haley gal: Don't feel special, it was published in 357 papers as of 4 P.M. today including the N.Y. Times!!
They must have a casino there. You know how morality falls when casinos are allowed.
Come on people, this stuff has been going on since the beginning of time. And not just horses. I realize your post are mostly Akron, but don't play the naive roll.............To Deidre; maybe she was an ugly horse and just enjoyed whatever she could get!!!
This guy should be a horse fly for a day.
Laugh, laugh, laugh. When I was in high school this is how they treated homosexuals.
Some liberal judge will throw the case out citing that he is being discriminated against.
Some judge will throw the case out citing he is being discriminated against for his sexual preference.
Sometimes it takes 13 minutes for a post to show up; meanwhile thinking they censored the words "homosexual" and "liberal"
@Doug; I fail to understand your 11:23 P.M. post...explain!
"What a SICK man!!!!"
"That is so crazy and sick, Wow !!!"
"What a sick MF."
"send this man to a mental hospital "
"cause jail wont help him."
"wow.... sad..."
"of all the stupid sick things ive read lately this has to be the worst guy needs srious help!!!"
"But that guy is a real sicko."
Dear Lord, please have mercy on this individual, he surely needs some help. I need help to for reading something so stupid!
@Doug; you're sounding a little obsessed with this guy...and his horse....ya OK???
retlaw in nj
When you can't argue the point, attack the person?
I find sex with a man or a horse both unnatural and repulsive. One now mainstream, the other criminal. Just wondering.
win,place,or show. Every nineteen minutes, the guy went crazy.
Did the horse have a cigarette afterwords ?
I suggest authorities, make him try it on a alligator.
She had a shot gun pointed at him? She should have pulled the trigger. What a sicko.
I never had sex a horse, but in my younger days I never slept with any...... but I woke up with a few pigs!
This is what he should use in his defense, it always worked for Clinton... "I never had sexual relations with that woman, err, that horse."
First, I just have to say, honestly, this guy has some serious issues, that's not in question. His acts are just nasty, gross, repulsive, you pick the word to describe them... BUT, come on, seriously, this guy does not need to be in jail, he needs to be evaluated and treated in a mental ward somwhere.
Besides from what I hear, it was consensual. If the owner hadn't videotaped it, then the horse would have had to testify about what happened, and the guy might have gotten off again. lmao.
Kinda gives a whole new meaning to giddy up???
retlaw - thanks that makes sense - poor horse! LOL
doug - i don't think retlaw was attcking you - and you never explained your post - they made homosexuals have sex with horses?
and we thought west virginia had all the fun hahaha
His sheep was washing her wool that night.
deidre,
When I was in high school (60s & 70s) commments similar to the following were directed at any guy found to be homosexual. Being gay then was not considered normal, at least at the school I went to.
"What a SICK man!!!!"
"That is so crazy and sick, Wow !!!"
"What a sick MF."
"send this man to a mental hospital cause jail wont help him."
"wow.... sad..."
"of all the stupid sick things ive read lately this has to be the worst guy needs srious help!!!"
"But that guy is a real sicko."
Doug - Ok your posts make more sense now -
To anyone thinking this isnt a crime... children and ANIMALS are supposed to trust adults as caretakers. Not rapists. I am so ashamed of this guy as a human being, and I really dont think he qualifies as one. I think he should kill himself.
To Doug: when I was in high school 30 yrs. ago, I said those comments THEN and I say the same ones now. Anuses were made for outgoing to the best of my knowledge.
That poor horse.
Pit Bull Girl you sound like a neigh sayer.LOL.
it should be obvious he is not interested in humans.
OMG!! SICK!! I can't even imagine! This is disgusting. He needs some serious help.
I feel like I need a shower after reading this story.
She WANTED IT !!!!!
COWBOY UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder, did he get a stud fee?
I know that philly. She works in a strip club on weekends. He kept asking and she kept saying Neigh.
I still prefer sheep. Baaad...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Hide the animals!!!!
UseCommonSense...Nice
Got a similar story to tell:
One of our local businesses used to have a live Nativity every Christmas. One night after the display closed for that particular day and the human characters had left, the police caught a man doing the same thing to one of the sheep. Baaaaaad enough, but geez, right there in front of the baby Jesus!
There are some sick people in this world.
He was just horsing around
His date was an old nag ...
htlong.....funny!
But did he stay on for longer than 8 seconds??
and his name is RODE ll?
Where will he register as a sex offender, the zoo or PetSmart?
You all did good here,very funny!!!
The best has to go to the Julia Roberts remark tho:-)
This will be a new episode of "dirty jobs"
Mike Rowe sticking his arm way up there has NOTHING on this guy
Now I will think twice before I use the term I was ridin'em like a horse..
Not funny....I heard the guy was rushed to the hospital and is listed in "stable" condition. That said....I gotta run, have to see The Men Who Stare At Goats ! Cya !
Thats pretty TACKy, this guy is obviously not STABLE. What will animal rights groups think of this? HAHA...dummy
LOL@dirty jobs!!!!!!!!!
I do love that show tho..did you know the host use to be an opera singer?
...the famous Mr. Ed.
I wonder if he "buried it all the way to the sack" ?? Ha ha.
After women have 8 lb babies, they tend to "loosen up" a bit. What must it be like in a horses world?? I mean could it really feel good??
I would think it would be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway.
He rode her like Sea Biscuit
I'm so glad he has to register as a sex offender I have some female neighbors who could pass for horses
Is this where centaurs come from?
Jon...that was good.
Did he say "Why the long face dear" after they were done?
Someone probably told the guy he was hung like a horse, so he figured............
The prosecutor offered a plea bargain because the horse didn't want to testify in court,but she did except his marriage proposal.The couple will wed on the eve of the Kentucky Derby,her father MR. ED will give the bride away,they will honeymoon at the first barn they see
just another example of Ohio brain drain
This man is crazy but for the record the Angel in biblical time came to earth and laid with the women and the animal.
hiyoooo, silver! away!!!
He was just looking for a "stable relationshiop"
"relationship" sorry
"brokeback horsey"
Google Mr. Hands. Heard Mr. Hands' story on Rovers Morning Glory awhile back. It made me puke it was so disturbing.
Its so nice to see all you have a sense of humor,and good ones at that!!
Thank you for all the laughs,I for one,truly needed them:-)
all OF you*
Glad this guy was convicted, animal abuse is never funny. Especially UseNoCommonSense's sexist pic of a woman w/a saddle. This is the 21st century, women are NOT objects!
I guess he rides SIDESADDLE !!!!!
"access denied"... I literally spit water all over when i read your comment!
This is one sick m'fer but these comments are hilarious!
I read PETA was protesting outside of the jail, their signs read
"off with his heads!!!"
Ohhh, Wilbur, your hands are cold!
@ prochoiceliberal
Just out of curiosity, what are you prochoice about? This guy was just expressing his right to choose to have sex with a horse. LOL
@prochoiceliberal
what exactly are you prochoice about?
wth? my posts keep getting pulled?
wonder if he has hoof and mouth disease?
Wow
Maybe there was more in his VIAGRA than he planned for. Ye-Ha!!
ProChoiceLiberal...
"UseNoCommonSense's sexist pic of a woman w/a saddle. This is the 21st century, women are NOT objects!"
Nice, I rattled the cage of another women lib h0m0. I thought they got rid of you folks in the 70's. LET'S BURN THE BRAS!
Pit Bull Girl - I never said he wasn't sick. And wether or not he caused the horse to get infections is also irrelevant. The term sex offender is reserved for crimes agains humans and not horses. legal terminology should not be contaminated by sill human emotions over giving an animal the same rights as people.
UseCommonSense

GREAT PIC!
Sex offenders are social deviants. Having illegal & cruel sex w/a horse qualifies you as a sexual deviant. This poor horse suffered, he's lucky the owner didn't shoot him.
The great debate for 1010 . . .
Same Species Marriage
what the hell?TWICE? really? what a creep. just shoot the freak befor his next victims are our children
Let them marry.
Im wondering if he'd have gotten a lighter sentence if it had been a human. Was the horse not of age to consent? The guy is obviously a looney, but I find it hard to believe the horse actually suffered, and wonder if it even knew the guy was there. Im mean, seriously, compared to a horse's anatomy, would one even know a human was there? And it seems to me that if a horse "objected" to this guys "affections", he would not have been able to do it. I really cant imagine a guy overpowering and raping a horse that decided it wasnt going to happen. Maybe they were in love? (insert gay marriage argument here) This is sick, bizarre, perverted, and a lot of other things, but I really find it hard to believe its an animal abuse issue.
I was told he was being NEEEIGHBORLY
them color'd's like a horse or big white girl noone else wants...lol..
I loved that song "Save a horse, ride a cowboy" and now I know what the Lone Ranger menat when he REARED his horse up and yelled "High HO Silver"....the Truth! All I want is the truth!
so was it a male or female horse
No means no and whoa means whoa. Verrrry interesting.
Whatta sicko. The least he could do is send the mare some roses, er, a bale of hay. lol
aahhahahahahaaaha...... Buggery!.....ahahahahaahaa... the horse must have been really good to go back again hahaha!!!!!
oh WIIIIILLLLBBBUUURRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! HAHAAH this cracks me up
AGAIN, news of the Ft. Hood massacre is not even mentioned on the front page of this ABJ online site. ("Big questions, small answers", buried at the bottom after all the local, state, sports and entertainment "news" gives no indication it's about Ft. Hood and our TROOPS.)
LOOK at all the "stuff" in the most-read stories list, and none of the Ft. Hood stories make the list.
ABJ, Stop burying the Ft. Hood story that would show the honor of our troops and the EVIL of the shooter!!!!

If he successfully completes counseling, will his condition be rated "stable"...I wonder if his bizarre sexual desires will be "bridled" following treatment...How do you counsel someone who "buggers" horses (safe step-ladder operation)? Wonder what his wife looks like?...If he is a serial "buggery" offender, does he prefer oats?...I'm done! Gonig back to my padded room now!
Wow is all I can say! This guy is looking Mr. Ed didn't catch him. Might of been the other way around!

Hot dog down a hallway? That was the funniest thing I read in forever!
omg...wtf?
Did anyone stop and ask the horse how she felt? obviously they are in love.
I dunno greed. Maybe he promised her some new shoes.
This is One reason why it's so many diseases.
Because these Filthy men have sex with animals.
Hey, donkeys need love too!!
i think the horse was on top,cause otherwise he would,ve got bucked
that is horrible he must have been tall to be able to mount her. he wants to be a mounted police officer when he grows up.
hey he can keep doing the horse, as long as he doesn't start hurting some innocent child, or woman.
@class of 73,
nah to keep the horse from stepping on your toes ...you back it into a ditch!
I wonder.......when he is in prison, should they keep the horse magazines away from him?
That is f'n SICK!!!!
This guy is just plain sick! I'm glad he's going to be away for a long time.
Gives new meaning to the song "Ride a horse, save a cowboy".
If only horses could cook.
