Update 4/7/09 – Student Pleads Guilty to Sodomy, Killing of Dog
Note this face well! This is Cem Basoflas, a 20-year-old KU student from Instanbul, Turkey and in the US on a student visa. He is yet another sick and twisted waste of human life and was been charged with felony animal cruelty on Friday after he was arrested for arrested on charges of animal cruelty and criminal sodomy Wednesday afternoon.
Officers investigating a large quantity of blood at his apartment in the 2100 block of Heatherwood Drive confronted Basoflas when he returned to his apartment after a property manager called in a complaint. After further investigation, it was deemed that the blood involved abuse of a dog. The body of the dog was later found at an undisclosed location. Basoflas was arrested for allegedly sodomizing and killing a dog.
Police and prosecutors said more animals may be involved and more charges may be filed.
This is not Basoflas first animal cruelty charge either. He has another pending case of felony animal cruelty in district court, stemming from an alleged incident on Aug. 16. That charge stems from an incident when he took a cat to a vet and when it was examined veterinary technicians found that the cat had nine fractured ribs and a fractured sternum and was struggling to breathe because of a punctured lung.
In both cases, he’s charged with intentionally and maliciously killing, injuring, maiming, torturing, burning or mutilating any animal.
Basoflas was released from Douglas County Jail on Monday afternoon after posting a $12K bond. he release came with the stipulations that he have no contact with or possession of any animal and that he surrender his passport, as set by Pro Tem Judge James George at Basoflas’ first appearance hearing on Friday.
It’s believed that Basoflas got the animal or animals from answering ads thru websites like Craigslist or the local paper. Too often this is how abusers find their animal victims.
Police are still investigating and have not yet released any details about evidence involved beyond that the second charge involved one dog, which is now dead.
Basoflas’ next court appearance is set for 2 p.m., Feb. 24.
This sounds like one very sick and twisted POS! Get him off the streets and send him back where he came from! We have enough abusers in the US without importing them.
The video was from when the was first arrested and arraigned. As I noted, he has since been released.

I’m aware of all the cruelty that is held in Turkey on stray animals, dogs and cats mainly, and it’s unbearable: they poison, let them freeze on the streets, torture them, etc. This POS might be used to abuse and cruelty to animals and there is no place for that kind of behaviour here in US nor there in Turkey.
Here is a link of what is going on in that country, avoid going there:

Silvana, I’ve read so many stories of atrocities that are visited on animals around the world and there are just no words. Appaling, disgusting, cruel, heartless… they hardly come close. I did read about what they have been doing in Turkey and see the pix, it breaks my heart that is happens, that it is allowed to happen.
D.
I gonna throw up AGAIN!
I, too, am very aware of the utter brutality, the overt sadism toward animals in Turkey. THAT country will never get 1 cent of my money (or ANY respect), ever.
And, I HAVE memorized this POS PERP’s name, face and body-type. (Though I seriously doubt I’ll ever see him, he’d better pray I don’t… As an R.N. I know about painful things he can’t even imagine. YES, that’s how upset I am by this case!)
Scarlet, I almost said I was sorry for anyone who pissed you off, but I have to admit I would not hold much, if any, sympathy for someone like this. They deserve none!
D.
I say we put him in Scarlets hands…..get him Scarlet! I’ll even gladly help. Sick…….so very sick. I think I am going to throw up as well. You can’t fix stupid…..remember?
Why is this guy in the USA? student visa? and why are tax payers having to pay for a day in coust?? if i was the judge i would order deportation and not one minute more spend in america.! sick bastard! next we are going to hear that he is out and this time it wont be a an animal, it will be a child!
Let me guess: he is a muslem right? they dont like dogs i hear and hav no respect for them. i dont mean disrespect hear because of a religion but because its what i heard.
His actions are appalling.
In response to one comment about speculation regarding religion, I want to say that whether or not he is a muslim is irrelevant. Lots of people from lots of religions abuse animals, and they don’t do it because of their religion.
HE NEEDS CASTRATING
That would be a good start!
D.
woohoo!
hey could i be the one to castrate him??? please please..and with a smile on my face i do this!!
student visa; take away his passport; hell, send the degenerate back 2 turkey…………
you guys are just racist. it is not love for animal that u are expressing, it is hatred for a country that u obviously know nothing about. I just dread you.
Individuals cause problems, Not a country.
How in the world can you say that people are just racist. Maybe the animal abuser should get a hold of you for a while. You should just dread us if you can stand up for a sick pervert like this. Maybe both of you need to hit the road
to shamaran:
you write : you guys are ….. You guys usually means several names people ect… Dont include every body in this subject when you made a reply to my comment. You may think that i am a recist but you sound just like one! Doglover is right in his or her comment: hit the road.!
If you are on the defensive, have a good look at yourself because you are way too prompt to accuse and prompt to defend yourself.
respect that is
i dont know alot about turkey but one thing i do know..they have no resect at all for animals..they treat them like trash and this i do know so do i feel hatred for a country that does that..yup guess i sure do..no one there seems to step up to the plate to help animals in that country!!
finally somebody knows what i am trying to say!!!
thx’s
I can’t feel hatred for a country at all, there are so many people that are working on animal rights there, they need our support, talk like this makes them feel worthless and abandoned, they need us, just as we need them to continue what they are doing. it all has to start somewhere, and they are at least trying. our own country allows horrible things to happen to animals, what good does rodeo do? animals are terrified and often die. circus is known for abuse. so you see, even America, this beauty of a country has shame. but we are not all supporters of the abuse, many of us fight it.
let’s all keep a focus on supporting the AR/HR workers while they fight for new and better laws to protect all innocent.
I agree he should be deported to his country where th epractice is accepted. I am tired of accomodating every weirdo culture here in the states. That being said I ahve been to Turkey several times and it is a beautiful country with lovely people. Do I want to live there? Nope.
We have here, a perfect case in which the maximum penalty allowed by law must be, I say must be exacted. In tandem with that penalty, a program of intense rehabilitation should be applied, in order to return Mister Cem Basoflas, to the state of a valuable, positively contributing, member of society. If this effort proves to be unsuccessful and Mister Basoflas regains his freedom in a mental and moral condition that he presently owns, statistics show, that when animal abuse, dog rape, and killing no longer measure up to his sick needs, the next step will be our children.
So? …….Mister Basoflas………as we sit here pondering ethics, morals, the law, the Universe, God, heaven, hell and the meaning of life…..you just got to ask yourself one question…..when they throw your pathetic, scumbag ass in jail for the maximum time the law allows and the animals inside find out what you’re in there for……who’s bitch are you gonna be???
Sugar Bouche-I wanted to tell you sincerely-that that was very well articulated. x
Most serial killers start off torturing and killing animals, lock this guy up.
WHy send him back to Turkey where he will be free to do this again and again? Lock him up here and announce to the other inmates what he has done. Inmates have their own disgust levels and they will not tolerate cruelty on animals or children. They’ll do the same to him that he did to the animals, believe me.
If he stays out it is certain that he will injure and abuse stray animals.
Send this bastard to prison!!!
Show respect to the innocent lifes!!
He must endure all the tortures that his poor victims suffered…
Nah,…just hang him, and be done with it. This guy takes the life of animals that are conditioned to trust people. He’s a predator. Animals, then people. Don’t waste the money storing him. Just get a rope. Justice comes swiftly.
I agree I would so send him back but not before he spends some serious jailtime.
Hi Deanna! There is so much cruelty going on in Turkey, it must be in the water! I feel like many people here do, I believe in an eye for an eye when it comes to animals that can be bought anywhere and by anyone! I feel many of the people that sell these poor victims are as guilty as those committing the crime!This monster should do plenty of jail time! How do I really feel? If he does do jail time, it would be lovely to hear that he recieved the same cruelty that his innocet victims did! What should really happen? Put him and about 5 of my Facebook friends in a room with him and a bat in all 5 of our hands! Problem solved!!!
Hi Judith! I just think some countries look at animals much differently, not that that is any excuse for such heartless cruelties. It’s just sad and beyond pathetic.
There seems to be some very creative suggestions as to what should happen to this guy and I have to say, his punishment should be harsh and severe. Yes, I do think some of our Facebook friends could make his regret his actions… probably make him regret he was ever even born!
D.
well he should be castrated then go to jail where he would be raped, then he’ll know what’s the meaning of what he did. i’m sure his father (or mother) molested him as a child, he’s just so sick that i donno why people like him exist in this world
This is a perfect example of why people should not post on craigslist and give a animal away for free to the first person who shows up on their doorstep. We NEED to find a way to get word out to the naive public that think their beloved pet, they cannot keep for whatever reason (don’t get me started here), will be in a loving home. This disgust me and I don’t care if he came from a country that’s common practice is to disrespect animals. He’s in the US now. Pull his visa, take away his college credits and ship him back. Send all of the animals in Turkey to the U.S.
He will be closed forever, if he is free hi is goint to do the same to other animals. he is a miserable man.
Shahmaran: I don’t think you even know definition of the word “racist”. For one thing referring to Muslims has nothing to do with race. Muslims represent the religion of Islam which is made up of many races of people. It is probably true that an animal abuser’s religious background has nothing directly to do with the fact that he abuses animals. But most Muslims are from Middle Eastern countries where some of the most horrible abuse of animals is well-documented. The only countries where animals are treated worse are Asian countries such as China, Korea and the Phillipines where dogs and cats are viciously slaughtered for their meat.
You should not call people on this site racist just because we don’t want any sick perverts from other countries. The United States already has too many animal abusers and other sicko freaks to deal with.
If he is sent back to Turkey it should be in a leaky boat, not that I want to further pollute the oceans. But at least we would be rid of him, and he would never be able to abuse any animals again anywhere else.
This is appalling beyond words.WHY don’t humans who torture animals get the DEATH penalty?And I am not afraid to say this.Islam DOES indeed have a seriously shameful track reciord regarding human right violations,rape and sodomy of women (do you have any idea how painful that is??????)and torture of animals.In islam dogs and pigs are practically akin to satan,whom islam and christianity feels is a real an a nefarious diety.I say KILL that bastard,stop importing humans without thorough background checks,and STOP letting muslims immigrate.By now we all know about the jihad declared against the West.WAKE UP people!!!!!!
hope he likes his sodomy well enough to receive, he’s about to get some pretty heavy daily doses, bastard. and we will have this abuse whether Muslims immigrate or not, he would have done this to another dog in another country, thank God he got caught here and will have to own his sinful crime. I do think we have plenty of Americans who do the same, no matter what country we will have the abuse, it would have been no better that he did it elsewhere, and the Americans who commit this crime are just as bad. he is a piece of crap and should be treated so.
Shahmaran, I hate people of every race and religion, in every country, who abuses the defenseless, just as I despise racists. It in no way helps the issue, it only muddies it.
along these lines of thinking, hatred of an entire nation because of the abusive people that live there, we have Japan killing whales, but do we hate all Japanese? we have people of Japanese descent right here in America who fight with us against the whaling, people in Japan oppose it. the same goes for China, many ugly practices against animals with no laws to protect them. China has their own group working on animal rights and laws to protect, I love them! we don’t need to damn an entire country, we need to show respect and support to the ones who have to live there under such horrible laws.
