A British teenager is facing potential jail time after pleading guilty to attempting a sexual act with a pony. Thomas Mikaelson, 19, appeared at Leeds Crown Court on Wednesday (Sep 30), where he admitted to the offence that took place at Gledhill Farm in Almondbury, situated on the outskirts of Huddersfield, in August 2025 and involved a Shetland pony named Cheeky.
Previous Incident
When pressed, Nummerdor confirmed that the dog was the family pet. Last month, a Florida woman was arrested after surveillance footage from inside her home showed her engaging in a sexual act with the family dog. The video shows her in a partially nude state with the animal, positioned in a manner consistent with sexual activity.
Malia Elizabeth Nummerdor, 38, is now facing a felony charge of Sexual Activity Involving Animals.
Mikaelson also denied another offence of trespass at the same farm in June that year. Mikaelson was given bail and left court wearing a hat and scarf wrapped around his face.
“The farmer concerned has supplied a victim impact statement and I think that he ought to be given the opportunity of attending court at sentencing,” Judge Simon Phillips KC said to the court. Judge Phillips KC told Mikaelson that a “custodial sentence is an option” and he will learn his fate on November 17.
