A pedophile ‘furry’ fetishist who dressed up as a toy wolf called Lavadog Ashpaw has been convicted of raping a young boy.

Kyle Damiean Kerbersky assaulted the young relative on multiple occasions between October and November 2015, a jury decided on Tuesday.

Kerbersky, 29, raped the boy over the course of a month, then lied to Michigan State Troopers who were investigating his crimes.

The pedophile, of Muskegon, Mi, was first investigated by police after receiving a tip from Child Protective Services.


His victim’s exact age is not known, but Kebersky was convicted of first degree criminal sexual conduct against a child under the age of 13.



After Kebersky’s furry fetish was revealed by MLive, his lawyer Ryan Maesen insisted that it was not revelant to the charge.

It is unclear whether he had adopted his wolf alter-ego when carrying out the crime he was convicted of.

He faces life in prison when he is sentenced on October 2.

Furries enjoy dressing up as hybrids with human-animal characteristics.

They call their costumes ‘fursuits’ and enjoy displaying their alternative ‘fursonas’ while dressed up in them.

Kerbersky has posted multiple drawings of Lavadog Ashpaw on his Facebook profile, and even posted about his court-ordered psychiatric evaluation in June.

He wrote: ‘i’m not likely to be reachable this week. im going to be getting a phyc eval at Forrest view and may voluntarily stay.’

Kerbersky also posted a drawing of a cartoon wolf having sex with a dinosaur.

He even shared dates of court appeances – prompting one friend to tell the pedophile: ‘Your pack is with you.’
