"A Maryland man is facing a felony charge for the attempted carnal knowledge of an animal after allegedly soliciting an undercover Loudoun County Animal Services officer in Leesburg for the opportunity to have sexual relations with a horse, according to Loudoun County authorities.
Under the Code of Virginia, crimes against nature involving animals are a Class 6 felony, which carry a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and a $2,500 fine, according to LCAS. Earlier this year, the Virginia Court of Appeals upheld the commonwealth’s ban on bestiality through the crimes against nature statute, recognizing that animals are not able to provide consent."
