A 37-year-old man from California, who legally changed his name to “Sexy Vegan” was arrested by the police for sexually assaulting his pet Pitbull and for posting a video of the act on a social media platform.

Hansel Marion DeBartolo III, who is now known as “Sexy Vegan”, was arrested by the police on September 26, 2019, after a video of him sexually assaulting his pet dog was discovered by the detectives.

Authorities said they discovered a video of Vegan performing an act of bestiality on his pet pitbull on September 5, 2019.

According to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Office, the 2 dogs were removed from Vegan’s home in Newhall by the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control.

Vegan pleaded not guilty to 2 misdemeanor charges, one count for sexual assault on an animal, and one count for posting the obscene matter on Social Media.

The police confirmed that Vegan was on probation for an unrelated charge that was committed outside the Santa Clarita area when he was arrested by the investigating officers.

He is currently being held on a $35,000 bail and is set to appear in court on October 10 for a hearing.

If found guilty, Vegan could spend 1 year in a California prison.

When the police arrested him, Vegan told the police that he was a 2020 presidential candidate.

Vegan, who has a tattoo on his face that says “Sexy Vegan”, made headlines 2-years-ago after he appeared on an episode of the Dr. Phil Show.

Vegan was seen wearing speedos in the ‘My Brother Changed His Name to “Sexy Vegan,” Wears Speedos in Public and is Spending My Mom’s $11 Million Inheritance’, Episode of the Dr. Phil Show.

Vegan was booted off the show for using excessive profanity, this made him really famous in America.

Dr. Phil, the host of the show, told Vegan “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.”

Dr. Phil later apologized for the immature behavior of Vegan.
