Neillsville man charged with sex with animal

NEILLSVILLE - A 63-year-old Neillsville man has been charged with sexual gratification with an animal. Harold G. Hart, W7763 Highway 95, is facing four misdemeanor charges - sexual gratification, disorderly conduct and two counts of obstructing an officer. Hart told police he's been having sex with calves for between one and two years at the farm.
Clark County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Jim Backus said the last case similar to Hart's was 20 or more years ago. Hart likely traveled to the Greenwood farm because "it's really not far out of his travel area" on his way to Marshfield bars or strip clubs on Highway H, Backus said.
According to the criminal complaint, the family installed a motion detector on Jan. 22 because they routinely had seen footprints and vehicle tracks. At about 4 a.m. the following morning, a sensor sounded, and Hart was caught leaving the barn. He said he used a bathroom in the barn and claimed he had never been there before.
However, on Jan. 28 Hart admitted to police he routinely stopped at the farm, usually after bar closing or on trips to strip clubs near Marshfield or Neillsville.
