A group of men were arrested on suspicion of having sex with at least 12 farm animals after a tip off to police led to a raid.

Three men are being held by Pennsylvania state police who served a search warrant at a rural home in the small town of Munson, Clearfield County which is 130 miles north east of Pittsburgh.

Terry Wallace, 40, Matthew Brubaker, 32, and Marc Measnikoff, 34, face more than 1,000 charges each after what is thought to be five years of abuse of the animals.

District attorney Bill Shaw told them the charges so far are part of an ongoing investigation into the abuse of animals.

He told them: "This is an unpleasant topic, but the facts are that we received a report of folks having sexual intercourse with animals, farm animals."

The men are accused of having sexual relations with at least nine female horses, a cow, a goat, and dogs, at a property on Mouse Road.

Police also recovered several semi-automatic weapons at the home.

A teenage boy was also present at the home and was reportedly used to hold the animals during the sex sessions and they are set to be additionally charged with endangering the welfare of a child, and the corruption of a minor.

The statistics of alleged abuse is staggering, said police.

They face misdemeanours including 1,460 counts of sexual intercourse with an animal, and 1,460 counts of cruelty to animals, reports WTAJ.

The men are in jail until they pay a $100,000 bail and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, August 22.

Mr Shaw told the station: "So I've been doing this for over 20 years and this is probably the worse situation of this type of case that I've come across."

It was later confirmed that animal said to be involved in the animal sex orgies are sheep, cows, horses, dogs and other farm animals.

It is a makeshift farm involved, said police.

"The animals are being removed from the farm is my understanding," Shaw told the channel.

"And we're finding appropriate shelters for those animals."
