Texas Teen arrested for bestiality and sexual assault

ARLINGTON, TEXAS - A 17 year-old high school student has been arrested and charged with bestiality and sexual assault. Arlington police arrested Raiden Wayne Castle for incidents which took place on May 4. He has been booked into the Tarrant County jail and his bond set at $12,500 for the two charges.

It is unknown how many teens commit bestiality; incidents often go undetected or unreported, and even when arrests occur, records are often sealed. According to a recent study by the Canadian Center for Child Protection, about 13% of individuals arrested for bestiality activity are males under the age of 18.
