Man banned from owning horses after sexually abusing them
Corey Coleman, 24, of Park View, Llanharan, Rhondda Cynon Taf, pleaded guilty to four offences under the Animal Welfare Act in April at Merthyr Tydfil Magistrates' Court. The offences, which were captured on CCTV, occurred in June and July last year and involved causing unnecessary suffering to stallions Benny and Bear, as well as a bay mare named Narla. Coleman was sentenced to an eight-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, and was ordered to complete 25 rehabilitation activity requirement days. He was also disqualified from owning, keeping, or transporting horses for five years. Additionally, he was fined £120, ordered to pay a £154 victim surcharge, and contribute £200 towards the RSPCA's costs. The court heard that concerns were raised when Coleman was injured by one of the stallions on June 27, leading to a review of CCTV footage that revealed ongoing abuse, even while he was wearing a back brace. The footage showed children in the vicinity during some of the incidents. A vet examination of the horses revealed no physical injuries. RSPCA Inspector Keith Hogben provided a witness statement detailing evidence found at the scene, including a bottle of baby lotion linked to Coleman. An independent expert vet reviewed the CCTV footage and concluded that it clearly showed Coleman engaging in sexual acts with the stallions, causing them unnecessary suffering. RSPCA deputy chief inspector Gemma Cooper said: 'Following an examination by a vet thankfully the horses were found to be okay despite having to endure this abuse and suffering. 'We'd like to thank everyone involved - in what has been a harrowing case.'

Man, 26, who sexually abused & performed sex act next to horses at stables before he was caught on CCTV avoids jail
A MAN who sexually abused and performed a sex act next to horses at stables before he was caught on CCTV has managed to avoid jail. Corey Coleman, 26, accepted he had an "unhealthy interest" in horses after footage revealed his various disturbing acts on the animals. 4 4 4 Wales ' Merthyr Tydfil Magistrates' Court heard how Coleman, from Llanharan, regularly volunteered in helping look after the horses at the Ynyscrug livery yard. But on June 27 last year, the man was found lying in a passageway between the stables with "serious injuries" to his back. Coleman was hospitalised with spinal fractures and was given a back brace - but was "back at the stables" not long after, RSPCA prosecutor Geraint Richards said. The owner of the stables, Alex Hill, questioned Coleman as to how he got the injury, to which he said one of the horses attempted to mount him. Mr Hill then decided to look at the CCTV, which "concerned him enough to look deeper into it," Mr Richards said. When Mr Hill checked the footage from Coleman's stables visits on July 15 and 29, he saw that he had been abusing horses. Coleman was captured "teasing and arousing" a horse, with the date he was injured showing a similar disturbing incident. After the yard's owner called cops, Coleman was then arrested and made an "unsolicited" comment to officers that his actions were "part of the cleaning," the court heard. RSPCA prosecutor Mr Richards explained how the stables were "quite busy" and there were often "children in the vicinity" outside. He added that it was likely the abuse had occurred "for many months" due to the horses' behaviour during the incidents that "showed they had been conditioned to be used to this sort of attention". Horror as over 200 animals who 'crammed in tiny spaces' seized from Co Kildare property by ISPCA Daniel Maggs, defending, confessed it was a "very unusual case" and added that Coleman struggled to discuss the heinous incidents because of his "embarrassment". He also said his client already endured an "element of instant karma" after his injuries and accepted he had "an unhealthy interest" in stallions. Coleman had been involved in an equine events organisation but had obviously "destroyed any future career of that nature" and was now receiving counselling. The 26-year-old pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a bay stallion named Bear and a palomino stallion named Benny by sexually abusing them. He also pleaded guilty to failing to ensure the welfare of the same stallions and failing to ensure the welfare of a bay mare named Nala who was exposed to the risk of injury from the stallions. The court heard how there are two dogs and two cats at Coleman's main place of residency - his girlfriend of nine years's home - and two dogs at his mum's where he stays "from time to time". Coleman's solicitor Mr Maggs said it was be "fair to say" his relationship is now "on the rocks" due to the shocking discoveries. Coleman was also disqualified from owning, keeping or transporting horses, or participating in their keeping for half a decade and ordered to pay costs of £474.

Iowa lawmakers send bill to governor that prohibits THC open containers in vehicles
DES MOINES, Iowa — The Iowa Senate passed a bill unanimously Wednesday morning after the Iowa House moved it out of the chamber earlier this week. The legislation would add 'a beverage containing any amount of tetrahydrocannabinol' to existing Iowa code for open container laws relating to alcohol. Those in the industry are all for regulations to protect businesses and the consumer. 'Consumer protection is definitely the top priority for our business and others in the industry,' said Corey Coleman, the owner of Sky High in Cedar Falls. 'As well as making sure the consumer is going to be safe. And this bill, with the new addition here I think helps that along.' 'Safety is our number one priority for their customers,' said Phil Jeneary, a lobbyist for the Iowa HEMP Coalition. The luck of the Iowans: Waukee North West band gears up to play in the Dublin St. Patrick's Day Parade But both are frustrated with a law passed last session that has driven business out of the state, forcing firings and some to close up shop. 'Our main focus at this point is out of state. Unfortunately we have geared the majority of our efforts to out-of-state at this point,' said Coleman. '…The container law I mean, that's good regulation, right? That sensible regulation probably should have been done years ago. It's good that it's getting done finally today, but without some changes we're going to continue to see businesses close and businesses leave.' Under the law passed just last year, consumable hemp products can contain no more than four milligrams of THC per serving, and no more than 10 milligrams per container. There is hope in the industry something could change soon with those restrictions. 'What they're hearing from business owners is that the law that was passed last year maybe went a little too far. And so they are open to looking at some of those regulations and seeing what other states are doing to make our state competitive,' said Jeneary. The open container bill is now eligible for Governor Reynolds to sign into law, it makes it a simple misdemeanor with a $260 fine.
