WAUSAU – A Wausau man accused of performing a sex act with a horse has been charged in Marathon County with bestiality.

Jared Kreft, 30, was charged with sexual gratification with an animal sex organ, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana as a repeat offender and bail jumping, according to court records.

On Wednesday, Marathon County sheriff's deputies were sent to a barn in the town of Wausau, where they found Kreft near a horse, according to court documents. Kreft was wearing a face mask, black jacket and blue wind pants with holes cut in the groin and buttocks areas, according to court documents.

He told deputies after he was arrested that he went to the barn and performed oral sex on the horse and tried to arouse the horse with his hand, according to court documents. He said he had viewed "horse pornography" before the incident.

Deputies also found a blue and red glass pipe often used for smoking marijuana and a jar of petroleum jelly.

When they searched his apartment in the city of Wausau, a detective found a small amount of marijuana, according to court documents.

Kreft was ordered held on a $2,000 cash bond and ordered to have no contact with the residence where the crime occurred.

It was unclear from court documents who owned the barn and horse. Requests for comment from the prosecutor and the Marathon County Sheriff's Department were not immediately returned.

A preliminary hearing is set for Tuesday.
