WAUSAU, WI (AP) -- A state appeals court has upheld a Superior man's conviction for having sex with a dead deer.
The 3rd District Court of Appeals has rejected Bryan Hathaway's argument that the charge should be dismissed because the law against committing an act of sexual gratification with animals does not apply to those who are dead.
Hathaway pleaded no contest to the charge a year ago and was sentenced to probation that required him to be evaluated as a sex offender.
The 21-year-old Hathaway told investigators that he saw a dead deer in a ditch near Superior in Fall 2006 and could not stop himself from having sex with it after he dragged it into the woods.
