NOVEMBER 16--Meet Bryan James Hathaway, alleged venison lover.

The Wisconsin man, 20, is facing charges that he had sex last month with a dead deer.

Wisconsin motion argues sex with animal carcass not a crime

Hathaway, who previously has served time for killing a horse he intended to sexually assault,

allegedly found the deer in a ditch alongside a roadway.

Now Hathaway's lawyer has filed a court motion (a copy of which you'll find here) arguing that since the animal was already dead, Hathaway should not face a misdemeanor rap of sexual gratification with an animal.
