Man charged with sexually abusing his pet dog

[Renew Deal]

Police arrested a West Park Avenue man on Friday after he allegedly sexually abused his pet dog.

Mitchell Marsicano, 55, of 432 West Park Avenue (Long Beach, NY), pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges that he sexually abused the 4-year-old male dog -- a white Shibu Inu named Snowball -- on at least two separate occasions.

Marsicano was charged with sexual misconduct, attempted sexual misconduct and burglary after he allegedly forced his way into his tenants’ apartment and engaged in sexual acts with the dog.

Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said that on at least two occasions between October 12 and October 21, Marsicano engaged in sexual misconduct with the dog in the upstairs apartment of the house he owned. Marsicano, who lived in the basement of his home and rented out other floors to two tenants, had previously turned over the care of the dog to his tenants, who claim that he had neglected and abused the animal.

Rice said the tenants contacted the D.A.’s Animal Cruelty Unit after witnessing Marsicano sexually abuse the dog in their apartment on Oct. 21 at approximately 2 a.m. after he entered the apartment without their permission.

One of the tenants, Daniel Miller, said he awoke to the dog's “squealing” and witnessed the disturbing scene in an empty adjacent bedroom.

“Immediately I woke up and it was the worst picture imaginable,” Miller said, adding that he witnessed Marsicano on top of the dog, naked. Miller said he pushed Marsicano off of the dog, at which point Marsicano left the house. Miller said he called the Animal Cruelty Unit, and that Long Beach Police arrested Marsicano when he returned home later that morning.

He might get ideas.

7. I'm sure he's done far worse.

Now we're dealing with TWO wannabe Santorums - Toomey in PA and Eric "The Whine" Cantor. Well, hey, I suppose there are people who want to be Freddie Kruger when the grow up too.

21. ROTFLMAO!

Oh, I didn't expect that. Now I'm wiping Earl Grey tea off my computer screen! :rofl:

14. What a disgusting thread. All of it. The content, the replies. All of it.

You should ask to have it deleted.

The need just isn't there to post every sick thing that happens in this world.

I don't see how this helps humanity along one damn bit.

And then for it to make the Greatest page?

God damn, people. The dog suffered, and you're making jokes?

15. In Maine it would be legal and probably not make the News

Physically abusing the Dog would be another issue. He would be arrested for that.

[northernlights]

19. um, no it would not. Phusically abusing animals sexually is not legal in Maine

and it is not ignored. Several years back in Maine some pervert was breaking into people's barns and raping their mares.

It was NOT legal. He was caught. He was prosecuted. Although the horse people I know were in agreement that we hoped at least one of the mares was able to give it to him double-barreled where he lives. :grr:

[AnArmyVeteran]

22. Other than all that do you see any redeeming qualities in the thread?

I agree with you about the poor, victimized dog though. The things some people will do are truly disgusting.

[MoonRiver]

16. Very sick.

I doubt this psycho will stop with dogs.

[jberryhill]

17. Unrec'd for ick factor

Is this a political story?

[Renew Deal]

20. I understand.

It's completely horrible. But I posted it for the off chance that the internet will never forget about this creep.
