Pedophile who molested 8-year-old girl and forced her into sexual activity with a dog faces bestiality charges
CLAY COUNTY, TEXAS: A pedophile was accused of molesting an 8-year-old girl and also forcing her into sexual activity with a dog. The 23-year-old man, Matthew Layne Miser, was arrested and booked on Tuesday, July 14. The abuse had taken place last year in June after which the victim relayed the ordeal to authorities.
The child had told cops that Miser had touched her private parts and then forced her to do "something bad" with a dog. It is currently not known what relationship Miser has with the young girl. According to Texomas, Miser, who hails from Wichita Falls, was arrested for the second time this week. This time around, he was arrested from Clay County on charges of indecency with a child, bestiality involving a child, and a Wichita County charge of evading arrest.
He is currently being held on a $200,000 bond with regard to his Clay County crimes. Miser also has convictions for theft from Walmart, another theft, and violation of a protective order. On Sunday, July 12, Miser had been arrested for assault after he had an altercation with a woman, believed to be his girlfriend, at 3.00 am. According to The Sun, Miser allegedly grabbed his girlfriend by the throat before destroying her room. He also demanded her car keys.
Last month, Miser had also been charged with cruelty to animals after police said that he kicked a dog that later died. It is not known whether the dog that died had been the same that Miser had forced on the child. Since 2016, Miser has had 16 arrests and was even given a two-year probation sentence last year for possession of a controlled substance and a four-year probation sentence for burglary.
We had earlier reported another case where a 62-year-old man, who repeatedly abused a young girl, reportedly threatened her warning that he would drown her puppy if she told anyone about the abuse. The pedophile, identified as Kenneth Mantle, had subjected the child to years of physical and emotional abuse in the '80s and '90s. He had also used her love for her puppy to silence her.
Mantle was sentenced to 24 years of imprisonment on March 12. During the sentencing, Detective Constable Nick Pearce said, "Mantle is an absolutely loathsome and vile man who showed no care and little regard for the young girl, using violent and heartless threats to terrify her into not telling anyone about the horror that he was putting her through."
"His actions were absolutely incomprehensible, he inflicted untold suffering for his own perverse gratification, continuing even now by making the woman endure the harrowing ordeal of a trial," according to a Metro report.
A statement from the Humberside Police, Pearce had praised the victim for being courageous, throughout the court proceedings. "However, the bravery the woman, in this case, has shown has been highly commendable and I want to offer my thanks for her patience and understanding throughout both the investigation process and court proceedings, as they have been long and complex processes."
