Gerardo Martinez, Iowa Man, Charged With Bestiality After Attempting Sex With Cat

Accused Cat Molestor

First Posted: 08/08/11 12:46 PM ET Updated: 10/08/11 06:12 AM ET

Police arrested a naked man accused of throwing a cat from a seventh-floor window in front of horrified neighbors.

The suspect Gerardo Martinez, 30, denied having a cat, but later admitted to police that he was high on meth and had tried to have sex with the feline before he tossed it from his apartment in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Wednesday, The Daily Nonpareil reported.

Cops charged Martinez with bestiality, animal abuse and indecent exposure, a Pottawattamie County Jail official told The Huffington Post.

The unlucky cat was found bleeding and barely breathing near the building's sidewalk and later died from the fall, according to KCCI..

Martinez allegedly answered the door topless and with his pants down. Cops told KCCI that he initially tried to pin the crime on his roommate before confessing that he was the culprit.

Prosecutors might slap Martinez with additional charges, because he's a registered sex offender, according to a subsequent report by The Daily Nonpareil.

I know most men like a little "kitty" most of the time, but this fellow took it to the extreme. Had the nerve to blame it in the meth. Poor boy...it was probably the only type of female he could make scream.

I know the title and author of the book that will be written by this criminal: "Revenge of the Cat" by Clawed Balls. Ouch.

Seems he couldn’t find the right species to have sex with so he decides a cat would be okay. Another idiot that we need to push off the planet. Good grief.

Some people should be hunted down and bound with rope. Then thrown into an area filled with carnivores. And leave the carcass so the vultures can clean it out.
Thats what we need. Cleansing of the human race. And some snacks for the animals.

Chances are his attorney will claim the police weren't gentle enough with him. A court appointed psychologist will say he was inproperly nurtured by his mother. And a Ginsburg like judge will toss the case because the DNA evidence will be inconclusive. PETA will show their disdain for the ruling by exposing young children to pictures of mutilated animals.

Don't forget the "Maybe it was consensual" excuse our country is so screwed up that the sad thing is I'm sure his lawyer has already looked into all these excuses

People who use or sell illegal drugs should be executed. This is the law in Saudia Arabia and they have NO drug problems in that country.

70% of the country would have to be killed for smoking weed
which would leave just the drinkers and pill poppers

You're right however so is having more then one wife. Women aren't allowed to be in public without a man and so on and so forth....Should we take a step back in time so that we can be like Saudi Arabia?

Huh? Your dislike for diversity is distorting your grip on reality. Read the story again. It is about insane devil-like person who abuses animals. How are you working that into "support" for your dislike of other cultures? Lol.
