Harford County Public Schools employee, Stephanie Mikles, is charged with unnatural or perverted practice after allegedly having sex with a dog.
A Harford County behavioral specialist indicted in connection with bestiality is scheduled to appear inHarford County Circuit Court Wednesday.
Stephanie Mikles, 46, of the 1500 block of North Bend Road in Jarrettsville, was indicted in April on a charge of unnatural or perverted sexual practice, online court records show.
The charges stem from an allegation she had sexual intercourse with a dog in August 2008, according to abc2news.com.
Mikles, a behavioral specialist with Harford County Public Schools, was moved to a non-instructional position at the central office when the school learned she was under investigation, Teri Kranefeld, manager of communications for the school system, told ExploreHarford.com. She was ultimately placed on administrative leave without pay after her indictment, Kranefeld told ExploreHarford.com.
Mikles is expected to appear in court for a suppression hearing at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in Harford County Circuit Court. A jury trial in the case is scheduled to take place Aug. 7.
