Desmond Hague, Puppy-Kicking CEO, Faces Charges In Elevator Incident (GRAPHIC VIDEO)

The multimillionaire caught on camera abusing a puppy last summer was formally charged Friday.

Charges against Hague were filed in Vancouver, where the incident took place. In British Columbia, violations of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act can carry sentences of up to two years in jail and fines of up to $75,000. However, because Hague is facing only civil — not criminal — charges, jail time is unlikely, according to U-T San Diego.
