PHOENIX -- Two Valley men, one of them a music teacher, have been arrested for allegedly answering ads on the Internet site Craigslist offering dogs for sexual gratification with humans.
The arrests came after an undercover investigation was launched in December into reports that a number of people were using Craigslist to communicate with others who have an interest in bestiality, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said in a news release Friday. The sheriff said the investigation indicated there is a secret language of Craigslist users engaged in the alleged crimes.
According to Arpaio, one suspect agreed to meet the handler and a male shepherd mix in a local hotel room where sex acts were to occur. Before the sex act, the suspect was arrested. The second suspect was arresetd on a separate occasion.
The suspects were identified as Keith D. Kiefer, 47, Mesa, an unemployed handyman and Patrick Stephen Trejo, 25, a music teacher at Raul H. Castro Middle School in Phoenix.
Arpaio's release noted the sheriff was a leader in a campaign in 2006 to make bestiality a felony crime in Arizona. That campaign followed the arrest of a Mesa deputy fire chief for attempting to fornicate with a sheep.
