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."

I got to admit axeman things like that make me laugh. I don't know what part of it all makes me laugh most but it does. Is it the part where a man has the urge to PUT HIS COCK IN A DOG FOR SEXUAL SATISFACTION (sorry i got tis keyboard from the bin but it suits here) or the bit where THEY LET HIM BACK INTO THE SOCIETY. Nah it's just me and i LIKE caps and shouting.

Nah i bet it's all wrong and the dog 'was wanting it'. I bet you the dog came onto him and he should just be getting done with beasiality and not rape etc. If you want to have sex with dogs you should go and live in a country that allows sex with dogs. Is there any countries that do allow sex with your dog? I notice tat they mention the dog's age. maybe it should be legal if the dog is over 5 say. then it would know what's up to. A dog doesnt stay with a human because it doesnt want to. I dont agree with people having sex with dogs but i do agree on the governnment watching these people when they have sex with dogs. Surely if you got a team of policemen to watch a list of people who have been done with sex crimes against women and children and even dogs they would find these people are still doing what they were doing. It seems primevil to these people. they dont just give it up as the government are starting to get heavy on them and put them on probation and the like. it's just making them more deviant and anti society and more and more dangerous. Was the dog his? surely he should have been banned from having a dog after last years dog sodomy charge? Its a guy that fcuks dogs DONT GIVE HIM A DOG AS HE WILL FCUK IT! lol thats it. simple.

ah sorry it wasnt his dog. He's breaking into other people's garages and fcuking their dogs. phew. I take it all back then. thats terrible. holy fcuk. surely just staying alive makes you think that this dude is just staying alive as he wants to fcuk dogs so much?

I think it's like the case of the 'Bombay Panther' Axeman. Over 124 deaths in the area over a few months in the 1920's. folks found with their throats ripped out. Jack the ripper x 11. a cracker never caught the killer but a hunter did. the killer was a old panther (or similar) and suddenly the killings didnt quite repulse the poepe as if it was done by one of their own kind. then that would make it 'evil'. I never had sex with terry and nor did i consider the 'evilness' of laying a dead animal's carcas across my cock. there was no evil there so it was ok. lol at dog shit on your bell end axeman. thats what always put me off anal sex. First i get annoyed with peole willing to give up EVERY PART OF THEIR BODY for sexual pleasure and then when i do get a dod of shite on my nob for it they get pissed off as HOW DARE I NOT THINK SHITE STINKS AND SMELLLS OF SHITE
