Man Raped his Fiancée's dog to Death!

 Fidel Lopez, 52, has pleaded guilty to raping the woman's Lhasa Apso mix.

The incident was reported by his fiancee  after she found her dog, Estrella, bleeding from her back end. 

According to authorities, the dog was discovered whining and hiding under the woman's couch. 

The woman then took Estrella to an emergency hospital, where a veterinarian was forced to euthanize the dog due to significant internal injuries, according to Oregon Live. 

Lopez's fiancee then asked for a rape kit to be done on her dog. 

She told authorities that Lopez had expressed an interest in bestiality and even bragged about watching another person sexually assault a dog.

Portland Police's Sex Crimes Unit started an investigation into Lopez.

He was arrested after DNA evidence linked him to the crime.

 Lopez, who worked in a pancake restaurant, was drunk at the time of the offence.

Joe Calhoun, defending, said his client became frustrated his fiancée of two-and-a-half years didn't return home the previous night or answer his calls.

At the time, Lopez was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on aggravated animal abuse and sexual assault of an animal. 

He told police that the dog seemed fine and that he had been drinking. 

Lopez also admitted he victimized the dog to sexually arouse himself. 

His defense attorney, Joe Calhoun, said: 'He’s told me that he’s owning up to a mistake he made and accepts that responsibility.'

Lopez, who has no prior criminal history, has a sixth-grade education.  

On Monday, Lopez was sentenced to three years of probation and 60 days in jail.

 The dog’s owner didn’t attend the hearing.

Lopez must pay her $500 (£380

The sentence was the most that Oregon's sentencing guidelines would allow.  

'If it could have been more, I gladly would have given you more time,' Multnomah County Circuit Judge Angel Lopez, who is not related to Fidel Lopez, said in court. 

In addition to his jail sentence, Fidel Lopez cannot own a pet for 15 years and he must receive a mental health evaluation.
