New York, December 19 : An 18-year-old man has been booked for having sex with horses in the US.

Erick Rivera abused the animals at a Hudson Valley harness track at night.

The horsemen started suspecting in July when they found the fillies bridled and immobilized in their stalls during morning checks.

Now, after six months of investigation Rivera has been charged with five counts each of sexual misconduct with an animal and burglary.

Police has the proof of surveillance camera records.

“This guy makes Michael Vick look like a charter member of PETA," the New York Daily News quoted Goshen Village Police Chief James Watt, as telling The Times Herald-Record of Middletown.

Rivera is being held in the county jail on 15,000-dollar bail. (ANI)
