An unsettling case has emerged from Phoenix, Arizona, where a 21-year-old man, Kenneth Sellner, has been arrested on charges of bestiality after his mother discovered incriminating surveillance footage. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office informed that the suspect was meant to be cleaning the horse stalls while his mother was vacationing, but upon reviewing camera footage she saw her son involved in sexual acts with the horse; the woman cut short her vacation to confront her son and present evidence to authorities, according to NorthJersey.com.

Sellner's mother's concern turned to alarm when she saw her son making contact with, and rubbing the horse's genitals against his body, the incident was promptly reported which then led to her son's eviction and her contacting deputies, in a statement obtained by azfamily.com. Following her report and provision of the surveillance video to law enforcement, they confirmed Sellner had committed the act of bestiality on at least two distinct occasions and he was located and arrested without incident at a friend's apartment.

The Sheriff's Office described the crime as "beyond reprehensible," with Sheriff Russ Skinner expressing gratitude for the quick work of detectives, and stressing the importance of being alert and proactive in reporting criminal activity, this was relayed by NorthJersey.com. Sellner, following his arrest, reportedly confessed to the deeds, claiming the horse's "flaky" genitals led to the inappropriate actions while he was in the process of cleaning the stalls.

Consequent to the investigation, and Sellner's own admission of the disturbing actions, he was booked into the Maricopa County Jail facing two felony counts of bestiality, his release was granted under the supervision of pre-trial services and he will now be monitored by an officer and must wear an ankle monitor, as revealed by azfamily.com.
