BESTIALITY

In order to find Defendant guilty of Bestiality, you must find the State has

proved the following two (2) elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

(1) Defendant engaged, or caused another person to engage in, an act of

sexual contact, sexual penetration, or sexual intercourse with the genitalia of an

animal for purposes of sexual gratification; and

(2) Defendant acted intentionally.

“Intentionally” means it was Defendant’s conscious objective or purpose to

engage, or to caused another person to engage in, an act of sexual contact, sexual

penetration, or sexual intercourse with the genitalia of an animal for purposes of

sexual gratification.

"Sexual contact" means Defendant intentionally touched the animal’s anus,

breast, buttocks or genitalia, or Defendant intentionally touched the animal with

Defendant’s anus, breast, buttocks or genitalia, and a reasonable person, under the

circumstances, would find the touching was intended to be sexual in nature.

“Sexual contact” includes touching through clothing. Sexual gratification is not

required.

“Sexual intercourse” means any act of physical union of a person’s genitalia

or anus with another’s mouth, genitalia or anus. Ejaculation is not required. “Sexual

intercourse” occurs upon any penetration, however slight. Within the meaning of

this offense, “sexual intercourse” encompasses the crimes commonly known as

rape and sodomy. The term “sexual intercourse” also includes any act of

cunnilingus or fellatio, regardless of whether penetration or ejaculation occurs.

“Cunnilingus” means any oral contact with the female genitalia.

“Fellatio” means any oral contact with the male genitalia.

“Sexual penetration” means: (1) Defendant’s placement of any object inside

the animal’s anus or vagina; or (2) Defendant’s placement of Defendant’s

genitalia or any sexual device inside the animal’s mouth.
