Man from Texas charged with having sex with horses

A man, from Texas, has been charged with having sex with horses at two different ranches in the USA.

According to the Daily Mail, Cirilo Castillo, 41, is accused of two accounts of cruelty to animals and two counts of criminal trespass.

Justice of the Peace Charlie Espinoza set the bonds for Castillo at $60,000 and The Monitor reports that Castillo is being held at the Higalgo County Jail.

According to the court records, a female horse owner’s video surveillance system had caught her neighbour Castillo entering her barn.

She told investigators at Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office that the tape showed him tying her brown mare to a fence and tying her back legs together.

She then alleged that he went on to have sex with the animal. Castillo was arrested after investigators identified him in the video and the police have said that during his interview Castillo admitted to having sex with the horse and confessed to having sex with a horse at another ranch.

Court records show that another rancher in nearby Alberta met up with investigators after he allegedly caught Castillo with his mares on four occasions.

He claimed that he had watched Castillo tying up the horses and having sex with them.

Castillo was identified by the rancher in a photo line-up.
