Man of the house incest patch

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — A Leesburg man who was arrested and accused of sexually abusing a dog, exposing himself at a hospital, and assaulting a hospital employee faces reduced charges, according to court records. Some of the initial charges have been dismissed.

The man, 25-year-old Ariel Enrique Carrasco Intestroza, was charged with one count of felony sexual abuse of an animal, two counts of indecent exposure and one count of assault.

Prosecutors have chosen not to pursue the assault charge and one of the indecent exposure charges. The sexual abuse of an animal charge has been downgraded to misdemeanor cruelty to animals.

Carrasco Intestroza is also accused of violating his probation. In 2021, he was found guilty of disorderly conduct after he was originally charged with indecent exposure.

According to court records, Carrasco Intestroza remains in custody after his bond appeal was withdrawn. His next court date is scheduled for Nov. 21.

If convicted of the remaining charges, Carrasco Intestroza could face up to two years in prison. He could also be ordered to attend an anger management program or obtain psychiatric counseling. He could also be barred from owning an animal.

Authorities claimed Carrasco Intestroza exposed himself on Feb. 13 while he was receiving medical treatment at Inova Loudoun Hospital.

The sheriff's office said it learned of the alleged exposure while Loudoun County Animal Services investigated Carrasco Intestroza for animal cruelty.
