SAN LEANDRO, CA -- A San Leandro man faced charges Thursday   
   after he was caught sexually assaulting a neighbor's dog, San Leandro   
   deputies said.   
      
    Officials said Allan K. Lindsay-O'Neal, a registered sex offender,   
   sexually assaulted a young male mixed-breed dog.  Deputies said a caretaker   
   at O'Neal's  home on Outrigger Drive saw the attack.   
      
   "(O'Neal) noticed he was being watched," said San Leandro   
    Deputy C. Kovacs. "He covered himself with a sheet, and   
   then the dog got away, and then she saw (O'Neal) masturbating   
   himself."   
      
    Kovacs said O'Neal  was allegedly sodomizing   
   the dog with a spoon, and the dog was yelping in pain. Kovacs added   
   that the incident was not the first time O'Neal has been seen   
   involved in disturbing acts with the dog and other animals.   
      
   "According to the neighbors, he is always walking around with animals,   
   kissing and licking them and everything -- cats, animals he picks up   
   in the neighborhood," Kovacs said.   
      
   Neighbors told Kovacs that at least one cat emerged from O'Neal's   
   home to lie lifeless in the grass.   
      
   Kovacs  said she was not able to arrest O'Neal   
   for bestiality, only for animal cruelty and exposing himself. In   
   California, it is not illegal to have sex with animals, Kovacs said.   
      
   Sex crimes prosecutor L. Belohlavek said bestiality was removed   
   from the statute years ago when it was deemed unconstitutional.   
      
   "Now, it's only a crime if the animal was injured, or if the sex   
   occurred before a child less than 16 years old -- its a second degree   
   felony," Belohlavek said.   
      
   Belohlavek said that removing bestiality from the books might have   
   been an oversight when laws were being rewritten.   
      
   Meanwhile, animal cruelty investigators said they've had several   
   recent complaints but couldn't make any arrests, so they are working   
   with county officials to draft a countywide bestiality law.   
      
   Animal advocates hope if a countywide law is passed, they might get   
   state legislators to do the same.
