Man arrested for having sex with horse - a second time

A US man has been arrested for a second time for allegedly having sex with a horse.

Patrick Linn has been accused of breaking into a barn belonging to farmer Allen McDearmid and having sex with one of his equines - which is exactly the same thing he was arrested for in 2010, WCTV reports.

But the only change on this occasion was that Linn showed his affections to a different horse - called Sunny - and he has since been charged with burglary, trespassing and sex acts with animals.

Allen said: "I would say it's hard to believe, but I had a feeling he'd be back because I believe it's a compulsion-type thing with him."
