I hope this person gets the help he needs. I think this large coverage is not productive. We do not need a freak show. This is news for Vernon, not NJ or the US.

It has been said that “history is written by the victors” and as such, a factcheck of this piece of history…

I first read of this in Thomas Cahill’s book:
This uh zoophile’s desire does seem to have lodged itself well into human consciousness. There’s a play written 1973 that may have some resonance here:
