A man has pleaded guilty to trespassing in connection with a fatal horse-sex
case.
James Michael Tait, 54, of Enumclaw, was accused of entering a barn without
the owner's permission.
Tait admitted to officers that he entered a neighboring barn last July with
friend Kenneth Pinyan to have sex with a horse, charging papers said. Tait was
videotaping the episode when Pinyan suffered internal injuries that led to his
death.
Tait pleaded guilty Tuesday and was given a one-year suspended sentence, a
$300 fine, and ordered to perform eight hours of community service and have no
contact with the neighbors.
The prosecutor's office said no animal cruelty charges were filed because
there was no evidence of injury to the horses.
