Posted: Wed Dec 01, 2004 1:58 pm
A Syracuse man already facing charges he endangered his young daughter by letting her wander away from home this summer is now facing a charge that he engaged in sex with a family pet last week.
Michael Leffler, 27, of West Kennedy Street, was arraigned Friday before City Judge Kevin Young on a misdemeanor charge of sexual misconduct. He was accused of engaging in a sex act with one of his mother's three dogs while he and his wife were dog-sitting the pets in their home.
According to officials, Leffler's wife called the police after catching her husband with the dog, a short-haired terrier-beagle mix named Gin-Gin, in their bedroom shortly after 1 a.m. Friday.
Young allowed Leffler to be released to the probation department's Pre-Trial Release Program and adjourned the case to Dec. 13.
Leffler also will be in court that day on misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child filed against him after police found his 3-year-old daughter shortly before 7 p.m. Aug. 20 wandering alone on the street several blocks from where the family then was living on Burnet Avenue.
In bringing the child home, police reported finding two other siblings - ages 6 and 8 - covered with bug bites in filthy living conditions, said Syracuse Police Sgt. Tom Connellan.
