Hide your horse, hide your goat: S.C.'s Rodell Vereen, charged with raping a horse, released from prison

Sixteen months ago, a South Carolina man was convicted of raping a horse. And no, I'm not making this up.

Rodell Vereen, 51, must serve two years probation and register as a sex offender, according to the state Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services. Vereen was released March 1 and will be supervised until Feb. 28, 2013.

Vereen pleaded guilty in November 2009 to buggery and trespassing after he was charged in July 2009, when the woman found him in her barn at Lazy B Stables in the Wampee community of Horry County, police said. The woman pointed a shotgun at him until police arrived.

He was already a registered sex offender — because this wasn't the first time he'd mounted the horse.

n July 2008, Vereen, who owns a landscaping business, pleaded guilty to the same charge after he was caught Thanksgiving Day of 2007 having sex with the same horse.The woman told police she caught Vereen having sex with a 21-year-old female horse named Sugar. She told officers she had video of Vereen "having relations" with one of her horses on July 19, 2009, according to a police report.

Vereen also had prior convictions of burglary from 1991 and 1995. Vereen has been registered as a sex offender since pleading to the first buggery charge in 2008, according to the State Law Enforcement Division.
