BangBros Performer Pleads Guilty to Animal Cruelty

MIAMI — Porn performer Raul Armenteros, aka “The Monster,” has pled guilty to 21 counts of cruelty to animals, a year after being arrested for having 21 animals locked up in his hot box van.

Well-endowed Armenteros is a regular BangBros' “Bang Bus” star who is known as Ramon in the films including “Ramonator 1 & 2” among others.

Armenteros was nabbed in July 2011 after Miami Police responded to complaints of a "child crying" in a van parked in a lot at NW 37th Avenue and Seventh Street in Miami. According to Miami New Times, the cops found eight roosters, four guinea hens, four pigeons, four goats and one duck jammed into the van with no water.

The 47-year-old cut a deal with the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s office for one felony and 20 misdemeanors, reportedly because the animals were being used in his Santeria sacrificial religious rituals, and he had no prior record.

“These were not for acts of violence but religious rituals,” Armenteros’ attorney Anthony Alvarez told Gossip Extra. “There’s a lot of hypocrisy here. The same people who were screaming about this are probably having a steak right now.”

Armenteros was sentenced to time served (the 93 days he stayed in county jail after his arrest in July 2011) and $11,513 in fines and penalties.

He’ll be on probation for five years and will serve 200 hours of community service.
