Sex Perv, Three Girls, Four Cows

(Moorestown, New Jersey) A 38-year-old Moorestown Police Officer, Robert Melia Jr., was accused yesterday of animal cruelty for allegedly engaging in sex with cows. Melia was already in jail after being arrested earlier this month and charged for sexually assaulting three girls.

Melia's former girlfriend, Heather Lewis, 32, is also in jail on charges related to sexually assaulting the same three girls between 2003 and 2006.

The animal cruelty charges resulted after police raided Melia's home and seized his computer. Evidence collected indicated that Melia had been amorous on four occasions with cows. Consequently, four counts of animal cruelty were lodged.

Melia is in custody at the Burlington County Jail with bail set at $510,000. Heather Lewis is in custody at the Women's Detention Center in Pemberton with bail set at $300,000.

From Courier Post:

Additional charges of sex assault on a juvenile have been filed against Heather Lewis, 32, of Pemberton Township, the former girlfriend of a Moorestown policeman also charged with similar sexual assaults.

Superior Court Judge Thomas Smith Jr. raised bail from $300,000 to $400,000 for Lewis today after she was charged with two more sexual assault charges involving an alleged fourth victim in August and September 2007.

Asst. Burlington County prosecutor Kevin Morgan declined to say whether the fourth victim is a boy or a girl. Huh? Maybe it is neither.
