Man Arrested For Assault After Filming Sex Acts With Stuffed Animals
TheodoreÂ Ruxpin of Brooklyn, New York, was arrested by detectives of the New York Police Departmentâs Special Victims Unit after posting a video of himself having sex with his daughterâs stuffed animals.NYPD spokesperson Juanita Cruz said that Ruxpin videotaped himself having sex with five different stuffed animals, and sent the video to several friends via email. One of the friends reportedly sent the video to police. New York state law says that any sexual act committed on a stuffed animal marketed toward children is strictly prohibited,Â and that offenders are to be charged with rape.âThe stuffed animals which Mr. Ruxpin sexually assaulted in the videos included a Hug-N-Oink Peppa Pig, a Letâs Imagine Elmo, a Tickled-Pink Minnie Mouse, aÂ Puppy Surprise beagle, and a Disney Princesses Elsa plush from the movie Frozen,â Cruz announced. âThe last of which was the most erotically disturbing thing Iâve ever seen in all my years on the force.ââIn the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous,â said Detective Olivia Benson, of the NYPD Special Victims crime unit. âThis is not something to be taken lightly, and here in the state of New York, we seek out those who are sick and twisted enough to commit theseÂ crimes, and bring them before the court of law. We will not tolerate sexual misconduct by any means, especially when the victim is totally incapable of consent, such as inÂ the case of Peppa Pig,Â Minnie Mouse, and the others.âRuxpin is currently being held on $10,000 bail and faces up to 5 years for each object sexually assaulted, which adds up to a possible 25-year sentence in prison.Â
