Horse sex man sentenced

A man has been sentenced after committing a string of sex attacks on a horse.

Mark Woollen

Mark Woollen was caught with his trousers down engaging in a sex act with a horse, called Molly, and had been spotted riding her around a field with no trousers on.

He was today given a six-month suspended jail term and ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for seven years.

Magistrates also heard how he had stolen items from horses and was found in possession of amphetamines and cannabis.

Mark Brennan, prosecuting, said that the horse owner arrived to see Woollen engaged in a sex act with Molly.

"On his arrest he said 'I've been a fool to myself'. He told police he had given in to the temptation of having sex with horses. He admitted riding without his trousers for sexual gratification."

Woolen admitted intercourse with an animal and asked for seven similar offences to be taken into account.

Woollen was given the six month jail term, suspended for two years, by North Tyneside magistrates and given a supervision order for two years and told to do 100 hours community work.

Woollen, 33, of Goathland Avenue, Longbenton, North Tyneside, was caught exposing himself and indecently assaulting the horse called Molly at East Benton Stables, off Station Road, Wallsend, in March this year.

Woollen had earlier been banned from every field in Britain when he had admitted before magistrates he had been interfering with horses. Despite his ban he had to be electronically tagged after being caught in September lurking near some stables.


Bet the horse was disappointed!
