Police: Georgia Man Had Sex With Goat

DALLAS, Ga. (AP) — Authorities say a man accused of having sex with a white female goat has been arrested in west Georgia.

Paulding County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Ashley Henson tells multiple news outlets Thursday that a neighbor noticed 65-Freddie Wadsworth performing a sexual act with a goat and called police. Once deputies determined Wadsworth was responsible for the act, he was arrested July 29 and charged with bestiality.

Wadsworth continues to be held for prosecution at the Paulding County Detention Center. Bestiality is a felony and the punishment for a conviction is between one to five years.
