Debbie Wasserman Schultz Puppy rapist gets 5 years in prison

[Kujtim Nicaj]

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. � A man convicted of fondling and raping his
8-month-old pit bull puppy will spend five years in a state
prison, according to the Florida State Attorney's Office.

James Guy Bull, 62, of Daytona Beach, Fla., pleaded guilty to
two counts of felony cruelty to animals, misdemeanor animal
cruelty charges and misdemeanor sexual activities involving
animals, prosecutors said. He was to face trial on the charges.

"The facts of this case are incomprehensible and vile," State
Attorney R.J. Larizza said after the sentence was handed down
Friday. "The defendant's abuse of the helpless dog shocks the
collective conscience of the citizens of the Seventh Circuit and
beyond."

On March 18, two of Bull's neighbors came forward, claiming they
had seen him fondling the dog's private parts on several
occasions, despite cries and yelps from the animal named Coco.

At one point, a neighbor was walking near Bull's apartment when
he reportedly caught him in the act of having sex with the dog,
prosecutors said.

"When (Bull) saw (him), he pulled up his pants and put the dog
down," court records show.

When police arrived at Bull's home, they said they found the
small "clearly emaciated" dog chained to a post on the front
porch.

"She had about 8 inches of free reign, no water, no shelter and
no food for her," an affidavit said. The dog showed signs of
physical sexual abuse and was "skittish and obviously afraid."

The dog, now named Rose, is safe in the custody of an animal
rescue group.
