2 Wis. Men Guilty Of Assaulting Woman With Snake

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) -- A jury has found two northwestern Wisconsin men guilty of sexually assaulting a woman with a live snake.

Twenty-four-year-old John Bullock of Altoona and 25-year-old Domonta Jones of Eau Claire had pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of first-degree sexual assault.

An Eau Claire County jury deliberated for about an hour and a half Friday.

A criminal complaint says the woman told police she was knocked out in the bedroom of Jones' home on Nov. 11. And, when she regained consciousness, Jones was holding her while Bullock assaulted her. She says Jones then got his snake and used it to assault her. Bullock claimed the sexual contact was consensual.

The Leader-Telegram reported that their sentencing is set for May 24.
