A Long Island landlord twice broke into his tenants' apartment and sexually abused their 2-year-old dog, Nassau County prosecutors said Friday.
Mitchell Marsicano of Long Beach entered the apartment in the house he owned and sexually assaulted the male dog, a 23-pound Shiba Inu named Snowball, prosecutors said.
They said the tenants called authorities after seeing the latest assault Thursday.
The other assault took place Oct. 12.
Marsicano, 55, was arraigned yesterday on burglary and sexual misconduct charges and bail was set at $10,000 cash.
His lawyer did not comment.
Snowball was examined at a nearby animal hospital and showed signs of trauma, including injuries to his legs consistent with being roughly restrained.
Marsicano faces up to 15 years in prison for the alleged burglary and one year in jail for the sex charges.
The dog was taken to the Freeport Animal Shelter.
