SOOKE, B.C. — A Vancouver Island man has pleaded guilty to bestiality for an offence linked to a horse.
Bruce Earl Gilbert, from Sooke located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, appeared in Western Communities Courthouse this week and received a year of probation.
"The allegation itself related to an incident allegedly involving a horse," said Crown spokesman Neil MacKenzie.
"I think the court probably focused on the issue of rehabilitation as being the most important part of the sentencing."
Bestiality is a term for sexual activity between humans and animals. The maximum penalty is 10 years in prison.
