Wisconsin man sentenced for causing creation and distribution of video showing monkey being tortured
A southwestern Wisconsin man has been sentenced to a year and a day in prison for causing the creation and distribution of a video of a monkey being tortured. U.S.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A southwestern Wisconsin man was sentenced Wednesday to a year and a day in prison for causing the creation and distribution of a video of a monkey being tortured.
U.S. District Judge William M. Conley also fined Kenneth Herrera, 40, of Soldiers Grove $5,000 and ordered him to serve three years of supervised release following his prison sentence.
Herrera was cited under the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act, which makes it illegal to cause the creation or distribution of depictions of “animal crushing.” Animal crushing includes burning, suffocating, impaling or causing the serious bodily injury of animals, prosecutors said.
Herrera pleaded guilty to the charge on Sept. 15.
