Sexual assault on woman, dog, videotaped
Bloomington, IN (US)Incident Date: Saturday, Sep 6, 2008
County: Monroe
Disposition: Alleged
Alleged: Thomas L. Meador
Police seized two Doberman pinschers, computer hard drives, video equipment and a 4-foot-tall marijuana plant from the residence of a 41-year-old Bloomington man charged with bestiality in connection with a videotaped sexual encounter that involved the man, an unconscious woman and one of the dogs.
Thomas L. Meador, 324 E. First St., is charged with three felonies: bestiality, sexual battery and maintaining a common nuisance. He was arrested after police searched his home Friday. He bonded out of jail and is scheduled to appear in court for an initial hearing Friday.
According to documents filed in Monroe Circuit Court, Meador admitted performing the sex acts he is charged with, which were documented on a videotape that a house sitter discovered on his computer, copied and gave to police.
A probable cause affidavit filed by police says Meador and the 30-year-old woman had become intoxicated during the Indiana University-Murray State football game Sept. 6 and returned to his home. The woman apparently passed out, and Meador then masturbated the dog while in bed with the woman. He also is accused of sexually assaulting the woman while she was unconscious, and videotaping his actions.
The woman later told police she had no idea what had taken place that day in Meador's bedroom and that she did not give consent for what had happened.
Bloomington Animal Control took the dogs from Meador and have kept them in custody so they could be examined for any signs of abuse. References |
