Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - Which is worse: the jail time or the infamy?

Going to jail is never pleasant, but seeing one's name in the paper in this context might be even worse, because it's your fate forevermore to be linked to this heinous crime:

A South Carolina man caught on video having sex with a horse was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison after pleading guilty for the second time in two years to abusing the creature.

Rodell Vereen was also ordered never to go near the stable where the horse's owner caught him and held him for authorities at shotgun point over the summer. He apologized to the woman and to himself after admitting to buggery at the Horry County courthouse.

''I'm sorry about what I've done. I didn't mean to do it. It's my fault. I'm sorry for what I've done to myself,'' Vereen said during Wednesday's court hearing.

Vereen was arrested in July after Barbara Kenley caught him entering the barn at Lazy B Stables in Longs, about 20 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach. She had been staking out the stable for more than a week after setting up a surveillance camera and videotaping Vereen's assault on her 21-year-old horse named Sugar.

Kenley said she became suspicious because her horse was acting strange and getting infections, and she noticed things were moved around the barn and dirt was piled up near the horse's stall.

My question is, what's up with South Carolina? First the prosecutor with the stripper in the cemetery, and now this...........
