Albouystown resident successfully challenges bestiality charges

Dec 30, 2009 News

The case involving Jagesh Roopnauth, a 55-year-old security guard who was kept in prison for more than four months for allegedly having sexual intercourse with a dog has been dismissed.
The case was dismissed after a veterinarian found that the dog was not in fact sodomised.
It was also alleged that on July 18, last Jagesh Roopnauth of 131 King Edward Street, Albouystown assaulted police officer, Gregory Hasting. Roopnauth also denied the allegation.
Responding at the time to the charges Roopnauth said that he was framed. He said that he was under constant attack by the police officer whom it is claimed he assaulted.
He said they both reside in the same yard and the policeman would often complain that a dog owned by the accused disturbed his family.
He said on the night of the incident a heated argument erupted between the two over noise made by the dogs and the policeman stormed out of the yard.
Roopchand claimed not long after, he was having dinner when he was suddenly interrupted by two policemen who dragged him from his home, put what appeared to be a gun to his side and took him to the Brickdam Police Station.
The security guard said the policeman had always tormented him and would threaten to have him imprisoned on every occasion.
As stated by the Prosecution when the police officer investigated, he was told by the woman that his daughter had discovered the security guard, naked with an erect penis in the act of penetrating the dog which was whimpering in either sensual bliss or ‘animal agony’.
None was prosecuted for malicious prosecution.
