An Orange County man accused of raping his dog could be getting out of jail soon. A judge set bail for 21-year-old Laszlo Arsenio Horvath (pictured) at $1,000.

The arrest affidavit for Horvath says animal services got a tip from a caller that the young man was abusing his dog at his home on Darlin Circle near Bithlo. An officer caught up with Horvath and told him to take the dog, an 8-year-old Whippet named Silvy, to a veterinarian.

Investigators say Horvath did take Silvy to a clinic, but then refused to get her medical help when he found out how much it would cost. He then turned Silvy over to the vet and left. The doctor determined the dog's internal and external injuries were too severe and euthanized the dog.

Deputies say when they asked Horvath why he had sex with his dog, he became emotional and said "I was lonely." He said he sexually abused her at least 6 times.

A judge put Horvath on home confinement but prohibited him from having any contact with any domestic or farm animals.
