Student who ‘had sex with sheep’ was ‘stressed about exams’

A university student who is alleged to have had sex with a sheep told police he was stressed out about a midterm exam.

The 23-year-old is alleged to have been found having sex with a ewe by a fellow Fresno State University student who heard bizarre noises coming from a barn on campus.

And the unidentified student, who was arrested and charged with sexual assault of an animal, told police that he was stressed about an upcoming exam and had been drinking, according to ABC7.


‘It’s just kind of disgusting and revolting and personally makes me angry. 

I mean, why would you do that?’ said Marisa Burkdoll, a student who works with animals on campus.


‘It’s just kind of sick. It’s unnatural and the animals they can’t really, I mean they can’t defend themselves. 

They can to an extent but they’re innocent, you know what I mean?’


The sheep – one of many used for breeding at the school – is being treated by vets.
