For once a real sentence has been handed down on a heinous animal abuse crime! On July 30, 2007, then, 19 -yr-old, Nicholas Denmore was staying with his grandparents in St. Petersburg.
His grandmother saw him sitting outside and when he noticed he, he grabbed her little Yorkie, Dutchess and fled. The tiny dog was found cowering and whimpering in a dumpster bleeding from the rectum.
Denmore was arrested for sodomizing the dog and charged with one count of animal cruelty to which he pleaded no contest in October.
DNA analysis of towels found with the dog showed traces of the dog’s blood and Densmore’s semen and a veterinary exam showed the anal area of the dog was torn.
Dutchess underwent surgery and has since recovered and is home with her family.
Although Densmore’s family asked that he not be sentenced to prison, the judge in the case denied the request saying that home supervision has been tried and failed.
Pinellas Circuit Judge Nancy Moate Ley handed down a four-year sentence which will precede a year of probation during which Densmore will be psychologically evaluated and treated. He also has been ordered to undergo a 12-week anger management course.
Densmore, with an IQ of only 83 and has early stage schizophrenia has a long history of problems including substance abuse. State records show he has previously been arrested seven times, five of them as a juvenile. In August of last year, in his first arrest as an adult, he was charged with trespassing and resisting arrest. He pleaded no contest and received 60 days in jail.
I don’t know if jail is the right place for the person, or a mental institution or what, but he is someone who definitely needs to be off the streets and out of society. I applaud Judge Ley for seeing the seriousness of what he did and taking the appropriate steps to remove him from society where he is a serious danger!
LET HIM ROT IN PRISON! HOPEFULLY, BUBBA WILL BE HIS CELL
MATE!
FINALLY(!!!!!) a REAL sentence that makes common sentence!! Bless the judge’s heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yep!! i so agree.
poor little Duchess, i do hope she’s ok…
I hope the sob rots in hell for what he has done. I finally see someone in the judicial system taking a stand and doing the right thing. And Marcy, I hope Bubba is his cell mate, or even prisoners who love animals – can you imagine what they will do to him?
As for little Dutchess, you sweet little darling. There is no reason on earth that you would have to suffer from a humans sickness like that. I pray that the love and affection you receive from your mom and dad will help you forget the evil that you had to endure.
What a pity there isn’t a mandatory spay/neuter order for such defectives.
@Karen Batchelor – Spay or neuter is too nice of words for a creep like this. Being polite – Immediate Castration. But what a great idea!
Thank you Judge Nancy Moate Ley. Just THANK YOU!
THIS MAN REALY NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO AN MENTAL INSTITUTION FOR THE RREST OF HIS LIFE AS HE HAS PROVED TIME & TIME AGAIN THAT HE IS NOT ABLE TO LIVE IN SOCIETY. WHY CAN’T THE JUDGE ORDER HE BE INSTITUTALIZED FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. I HOPE THIS POOR DOG WILL BE OK. I KNOW THIS FAMILY CARES FOR THIS MAN BE THEY HAVE TO QUIT ENABLING HIM AS THIS IS ONLY CAUSING TO THE PROBLEMS.
That makes me sick. what is this world coming to I hate to guess because its scary I can bet on one thing he did not learn this by him self or because he had a low IQ I have met a few people with a low IQ some of the best people you would ever want to meet this is learned behavior I just hope for the animals he gets all the help he needs and the person should be watched for a very long time more then a year anyway ….jeffrey
Although he deserves all and more of the sentence he received, it is painful that creeps like him get 4 years and violent and dangerous abusers often get 30 days, or a fine, or not charged at all because of their lofty position in the community. My son has a low IQ – not retarded but low — and schizo tendencies, and will require supervision most of his life. But you can always pick out the dog or cat he has raised because they are always loving and bonded almost to a fault. He raises cats that never scratch, dogs who never growl — you can’t blame it all on this guy’s low IQ.
Glad to see the sicko gone for ahwile … he’ll make a good gril friend for someone while there
dear judge : i lovee you thank god he will be in jail i hope he regrets && when he goes out wont hurt any poor dog
