Chelsea Rabbit Rapist Convicted Of Cruelty – Boston Herald
April 8, 2011
Abel Aguirre, 38, of Chelsea was convicted yesterday of animal cruelty for having sex with his roommate’s rabbit, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said. He faces up to 2 years in the House of Correction and a $2,500 fine at sentencing today.
Aguirre assaulted the rabbit June 1, 2008, district attorney spokesman Jake Wark said. Aguirre’s roommate told investigators she came home and found blood and clumps of rabbit fur on the bathroom floor and a claw belonging to the bunny. In Aguirre’s room, she found a used condom with rabbit fur on it. The rabbit was injured and bleeding.
“My jaw hit the floor,” one juror said about the disturbing testimony. The rabbit has died, but not of its injuries, Wark said.
Wait a minute, this story raises far more questions than it answers: for instance if the assault happened in June of 08' why did it take so long to come to trial, was the DA hoping for a sympathetic Easter jury? And what is this animal cruelty nonsense, this guy should have been tried for aggravated rape! And how about a murder indictment? Who is this "spokesman Jake Ward" and where does he get off saying the bunny's death was not the proximate cause of the sexual assault - the jurors should have demanded to see the autopsy report. Who is this roommate and how did she not see this coming? If she found: "blood... clumps of fur.... a detached claw on the bathroom floor" how did that happen, did he use handcuffs, and where is the Mayhem charge? And since when do rabbits have claws? What was the condom all about, safe sex... birth control... and if your going to go through the trouble of using a condom can't you clean up after yourself, did he think his roommate wasn't going to notice when she arrived home or did he have such pressing business elsewhere that there simply wasn't the time? Why aren't animal rights advocates around the country up in arms over this, where's PETA ... and Pam Anderson? And when I read the report of the juror who's jaw hit the floor I realize the biggest question of all: what was going through this defendant and perhaps more interesting, his attorney's mind that they thought it was a good idea to take this matter to trial? And I'm the one who got disbarred, go figure?
