It's the culture, stupid-----Ann Arbor man jailed in sex assault case lured teen into 'furry' fetish subculture

Ann Arbor man jailed in sex assault case lured teen into 'furry' fetish subculture | MLive.com:
"A married Ann Arbor couple first brought a 15-year-old Saline girl into the world of "furry fandom" before the 31-year-old husband coaxed her into having sex with him, a police report shows.
 Christopher Burke, who was recently sentenced to four months in jail and five years of probation in the case, denied any sexual involvement with the girl, though did admit she was a fellow "furry" and joined in the cuddle piles at his Ann Arbor apartment, according to the report, obtained by The News via a Freedom of Information Act request.
As Burke explained to Ann Arbor police detectives, "furry fandom" is an activity in which people dress up in mascot costumes, sometimes for sexual purposes.
While he said when questioned by police that he didn't have sex with the 15-year-old, Burke eventually pleaded no contest to one count of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in June.
Burke also declined to take a polygraph test in the case.
The report chronicles how a 15-year-old girl got caught up in the esoteric furry fandom fetish via her 20-year-old sister, who was in a polyamorous relationship with Burke and his wife, Crystal, and how their strict Catholic parents tried to put a stop to it.
The 20-year-old sister also told police there was never any sexual contact between Burke and the girl, though she broke down in tears during the police interview.
The 15-year-old later confessed more than one sexual encounter with Burke..."
