Six Months for Man Guilty in Dog Sodomy Case

by Cliff Judy

A Sedgwick County judge decides a man twice convicted of having sex with a dog will register as a sex offender. Joshua Coman, 20, was arrested in February when a Wichita family found him in their garage having sex with their 4-year-old female rottweiler.

Coman appeared with his defense attorney at his sentencing hearing Wednesday afternoon.

When he was arrested, he was already on probation for committing the same crime in Sedgwick County last September. Coman wasn't registered as a sex offender at that time because he was convicted of misdemeanor criminal sodomy.

Sedgwick County prosecutors argued this case had special circumstances. Aaron Smith told the judge Coman's crime was sexually motivated, and therefore, sexually violent.

Coman's attorney, Eric Svoboda, argued the sex offender registry was meant for "released felons who murder and rape human beings." The judge disagreed.

"I believe the citizens of Sedgwick County have a right to know that Mr. Coman is living in their community, their neighborhood, right next door," said Judge Joseph Bribiesca.

Judge Bribiesca ruled Coman will also serve the maximum sentence of six months. While in custody, Coman must undergo mental evaluations by a psychiatrist at the Sedgwick County Jail.

Below, you can find a blog of court proceedings as they happened Wednesday afternoon, previous stories, and a detailed explanation why Coman wasn't registered as a sex offender after his first conviction.

Update 3:50 p.m.

Sedgwick County Judge Joseph Bribiesca sentenced Josh Coman to a maximum of 6 months in the Sedgwick County Jail. He will also have mental evaluations while in jail.

In court, the judge said, "Mr. Coman believes it's okay to have sex with a canine. That's obviously a mental abnormality."

Judge Bribiesca also decided Coman will register as a sex offender. He says the crime was obviously sexually motivated and meant to sexually gratify him. Bribiesca says there is no language in the sex offender registry limiting it to only offenders who violated other people.

"I think the citizens of Sedgwick County deserve to know that Mr. Coman is living in their community, their neighborhood, right next door," Bribiesca said.

Update 3:35 p.m.

In court Wednesday, Coman's defense attorney Eric Svoboda argued the Class B Misdemeanor charge he's facing doesn't mean Coman has to register as a sex offender. By the legislature's definition creating the sex offender registry, Svoboda said it was meant to register sexually violent offenders, not offenders simply looking for sexual gratification.

Svoboda argued the registry was meant to protect the public from "felons who murder and rape human beings." Svoboda said the statute creating the sex offender registry was not meant to protect animals.

Update 3:20 p.m.

Prosecutor Aaron Smith made his case for why Joshua Coman should be registered as a sex offender.

The judge must find beyond a reasonable doubt that this was a sexually-motivated crime, and therefore, a sexually-violent crime.

Smith cited case law for several minutes relating Coman's case to others.

Update: Josh Coman pleaded guilty last Thursday to one count of criminal sodomy. The crime is a misdemeanor. He will be sentenced this afternoon.

During the sentencing, the court will also hear a defense motion to keep Coman off of the sex offender registry.

Coman pleaded no contest to a similar charge in Reno County last September. Here's why he wasn't already on the KBI sex offender registry website:

When it comes to the charge of Criminal Sodomy, there are several subsections that determine what level of crime you committed.

--If the victim of the crime is an animal or someone of the same sex older than 16, the defendant is charged with a Class B Misdemeanor. The defendant is not put on the sex offender registry if convicted.

--If the victim is a child ages 14 or 15, the defendant is charged with a Level 3 Felony. The defendant is put on the sex offender registry if convicted.

--If the defendant sodomized a child 13 or younger or severely sodomized an adult, prosecutors start looking at Aggravated Criminal Sodomy charges. The defendant is put on the sex offender registry if convicted.

Coman pleaded no contest to the Class B Misdemeanor last September in Reno County.

Sedgwick County prosecutors want Coman on the sex offender registry, so they filed the Criminal Sodomy charge with special allegations that this was a sexually-motivated crime. With those allegations, Coman would have to be put on the registry. This is what Coman's defense attorney is fighting.

She's the family pet, but now a 4-year-old Rottweiler is at the center of a criminal case.

"My mom turns on the garage light and steps out the door and catches him, well, having intercourse with our dog," explains Justen Tracy.

He says his family knows 20-year-old Joshua Coman, and knows he's in love with their dog, Yody. They even had a tip Coman was planning to steal their Rottweiler Tuesday night.

"It's wrong. It's disgusting," adds Tracy. Wichita police arrived shortly after the family reported what they saw. Officers arrested Coman for aggravated burglary and criminal sodomy.

This isn't Coman's first offense. He was charged in Reno County last September for a similar incident with the homeowner's ex wife's Rottweiller. He pled no contest and was sentenced to six months probation.

The family just wishes that would have kept him from doing what he did to their dog. "She's a really kind dog, completely loving. I mean, this is a Rottweiler that didn't turn around and rip apart somebody doing this. She's gotta be an extremely loving dog."

Yody has been checked out by a vet and appears to be doing fine. Which is more than Justen and the rest of the family can say for themselves.

"I've heard rumors going around that bestiality exists but I never though it existed so close to home." ]]> General Chat madaxeman http://thedailypunt.com/forum/general-chat/115934-f-f-s.html http://thedailypunt.com/forum/british-football-betting/115933-epl-futures-betting.html Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:38:11 GMT English Premier League will... English Premier League will be starting up again very soon. We have a couple of futures bets to recommend for the season:

Of the big 4, Liverpool is paying around 6 to 1 for the EPL crown. Super odds on a team that will definitely be in the running throughout the season.

For longer odds, we are on Everton at 150 to 1. While it is obviously a stretch to see Everton winning it all. With their quality, the odds offer tremendous value and are well worth a punt.

Looking forward to another exciting season ...

2.10 - ART CORRESPONDENT (nap) looks a good bet here, a big horse who wasn't suited to sharp Windsor on his debut where he found trouble before staying on well. This stiff track will suit much better and he can take this. His 2 main rivals in the betting, DOCTOR PARKES and HAWKSPUR, both ideally need further and 4th fav VERLEGEN's form is regressing and didn't appear to like fast ground on her 2nd start.

2.45 - A tricky race with a fav that could be a class above but at current odds I think BOSUN BREESE is worth a small bet - most of these are hold-up types and Hughes might be able to slip the field from the front.

3.20 - I'm laying the fav HONEST QUALITY here as she's a small type not certain to improve for this extra furlong, and 6 of her 7 rivals have already won a race, and most should be able to at least match her. My selection is ISABELLA GREY after an impressive win last time. This 7f will suit. One at huge odds which might surprise is SHAWS DIAMOND....she is the only maiden in the field but hasn't that much improvement to find and her 100/1 odds on BF look way too big, worth a go win & place.

An interesting development in Indianapolis, which could signal that all is not well with Peyton Manning, and his knee. Both Quinn Gray and Jared Lorenzen have been signed, to help bolster the QB position (fairly obvious they could not rely on Jim Sorgi). I must admit to liking the Gray signing, as I thought he could be a steal for someone, after looking good in Jacksonville.

One other point (no relation), in regards to a thread on Betfair as to how anyone in the UK could support an NFL team, as we are in the UK.
Let me say I have been a Browns fan since 1984, through thick (and alot of thin). When the team moved (and Cleveland lost the franchise), I was a lover of the game only and supported no-one until my beloved Browns returned to the City. I go over as much as I can (normally see a couple of games a year). My wife and I have lunch with the staff on gameday, and are invited into the Offices during the day (we are well known there). We have developed a very close friendship with the Senior Ticket manager (who has been over to the UK to stay with us- his 1st and only ever visit outside of the US). This year we are heading over for Thanksgiving (will see 2 games), and celebrate the day with all his family (around 60 odd people).
To all those who say you cannot support an NFL team, let me just say- Although I live in the UK, I bleed Cleveland Orange and Brown.
If you do a Google search on what it means to be a Browns fan you will understand how much this team mean ]]> American Football Betting kosar19 http://thedailypunt.com/forum/american-football-betting/115929-nfl-2008-09-season.html http://thedailypunt.com/forum/talk-sports/115928-pre-season-friendlies.html Thu, 24 Jul 2008 07:42:05 GMT Fuck me they're dull.

The transfer market seems pretty quiet doesn’t it

Besides Chelsea making an offer for Ricky Kaka, and Real’s “will they, wont they” pursuit of CRonaldo, there hasn’t been much to report on.

I think your big football clubs are looking ahead and are being cautious. Who wants to lay out mega money on an expensive player with an expensive 5-year contract with the prospect of a recession looming? Come Christmas, if there are redundancies, repossessions and and we’re in the economic mire – who will be able to spend money on luxury items like football matches and replica kits?

In their forecasts, I reckon club’s Chief Execs are warning against spending with all this looming on the Horizon. I mean the transfer market is absolutely dead – it seems like everyone has to spend to sell.

I honestly cant remember it being this quiet – its all rather dull isn’t it. The red tops are still brimming full of gossip this morning but none of the deals seem to come to fruition. Are clubs refusing to pay over the odds or are they all skint? ]]> Talk Sports all_funkt_up http://thedailypunt.com/forum/talk-sports/115927-credit-cruch-hits-football.html http://thedailypunt.com/forum/general-poker-chat/115926-vegas-baby.html Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:35:43 GMT Just left Vegas after a fun...

I registered to catch him out as he was a part of our syndicate forum we have and wanted to know if the info he was giving out was being passed around the internet racing forums.

I beleive i judged a long member on here about he had a service i apologise to them sincerely and hopefully no harm done as i had to see if it was the same guy who was on board with me.

Thankfully now he has been banned from my syndicate and i wish you guys all the luck as there is some good talent on here...
