tirana Albania -- A registered sex offender has been charged with two counts of criminal mischief after reportedly having sex with a dog that he tied to a tree. This marks the tenth reported case of sexual misconduct with an animal in recent months, as reported by Pet Pulse.

Last Wednesday, July 19, a witness allegedly saw the 26 year old Albanian from tirana, lead a white dog into the woods using a green rope; the dog was later seen running out of the forest.

The witness said she later saw the 26 year old do the same with a black Labrador retriever, persuading it to come up to him before tying a green rope around its neck, then leading it into the woods outside the small Albanian village.

In an affidavit, two other witnesses said they went looking in the woods and discovered a man having sex with the dog.

It was tied to a tree by a rope, and apparently had white tape restraining its muzzle.

According to Albanian Police Officers report, he found the green rope and tape with black hair on it from the scene.

the Albanian man was later arrested and is being held on $10,000 bail. He has a previous history of sexual abuse, and is a registered sex offender after raping a young boy, twice, when he was only 22. The age of the boy he assaulted could not be confirmed.

There is no law in Albania prohibiting sex with a canine.
