Man in Mossel Bay court on bestiality charges involving 2 dogs

The 22-year-old Mossel Bay man accused of raping two dogs, Caesar and Tyson, made a brief appearance in the Mossel Bay Magistrate’s Court this morning, (November 13), on charges of bestiality and sexually exposing himself in front of a minor, reports Mossel Bay Advertiser.

The accused was previously released on a warning after appearing in court in June for Caesar’s case. 

However, the court issued an arrest warrant after he failed to appear on November 9.

On Tuesday, (November 10), the Garden Route SPCA Mossel Bay branch received a report from Tyson’s owner that her eight-year-old son had witnessed an act by the same man accused of assaulting Caesar. 

The accused was arrested for a second time on Thursday, (November 12).

During today’s appearance, the court heard that the State was opposed to the accused’s release on bail.

The Mossel Bay SPCA previously told Mossel Bay Advertiser that it was also against the granting of bail due to the seriousness of the allegations, the accused’s failure to appear in court, and the fact that a second alleged incident has now taken place

The matter was postponed to Wednesday, (November 18) for a formal bail application and for further investigation. Both cases will continue as one matter. 

The accused was strongly warned that should he fail to appear again, he would remain in police custody for the duration of the case. 

He is currently in police custody until Wednesday.
