Most often farmers and kids get arrested for this stuff. We all know they're done for.
What if a CEO of a major company gets caught? Think they could fight it to the top? God forbid, get a law overturned?
This exec http://www.ktvz.com/news/bend-businessman-charged-with-animal-sex-abuse/31533042 has his bail set at $517,500. Will he take it or fight it?
All the money in the world cant buy common sense. Dude got cocky and rushed into it without taking the necessary precautions. I dont think this has anything to do with being wealthy in this case.
If we're speaking generally, I'd say wealthy zoos are a lot less likely to be suspected of being zoophiles due to the common trope of bestiality only being performed by farmboys and lower class people.
That's true but the question was about fighting the charges which costs in lawers, time and money.
Richer people in general are more likely to get away with crimes, but a reputation-nuking accusation such as this is an uphill battle for anyone.
Wealth plays to the ability to focus resources. If you have no resources, you have no real chance. Beyond that, not so much. I will say that the police are much more careful of a rich person's reputation than a poor persons for just that reason, a poor slob can't do anything to them.
Absolutely, I think money will greatly reduce the punishment. That is assuming he gets a great lawyer. I'm not sure how many attorneys specialize in this type of defense though.
