Jefferson County woman has been charged with bestiality after a reported sexual encounter with a dog.
Kimberly Shea Wyatt, 30, was arrested Tuesday in St. Clair County, according to court and jail records. She was booked into the St. Clair County Jail Tuesday at 8:35 p.m. with bond set at $5,000.
Court records do not list an attorney to comment her behalf.
Charging documents state Wyatt engaged in sexual contact with a dog. The records did not elaborate and efforts to obtain additional information from authorities were not immediately successful.
Under Alabama law, a person commits the crime of bestiality if he or she engages in, or submits to, any sexual conduct or sexual contact with an animal, knowingly causes, aids, or abets another in engaging in any sexual conduct or sexual contact with an animal, knowingly permits any sexual conduct or sexual contact with an animal upon premises under his or her control, or knowingly organizes, promotes, conducts, advertises, aids, abets, observes, or performs any service furthering an act involving sexual conduct or sexual contact with an animal for a commercial or recreational purpose.
Bestiality is a Class A misdemeanor. Wyatt’s trial is set for May 19.
