The 43-year-old has been charged with unnatural intercourse with a dog, and could be jailed for 10 years if convicted.

Graves, of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA, was arrested yesterday by Lamar County Sheriff’s deputies.

Sheriff Danny Rigel said: “This is a tip that came through crime stoppers.

“We have video evidence of the crime occurring that was posted online, which led us to the search and arrest warrant.”

He said it was not the first time he has seen such a case, but it was a "very rare" occurrence.
