A Florida mother allegedly abused her 11-year-old daughter in horrid acts involving their dog, producing explicit videos later distributed to a man facing child pornography charges.
A 35-year-old mother in Florida allegedly forced her 11-year-old daughter to perform sexual acts on their family dog between March and April 2025. At least 14 videos were created under the mother’s direction, some showing the child engaging in explicit acts, including bestiality. Sheriff Bob Gualtieri of Pinellas County described the case as “one of the most horrific acts of child exploitation we’ve ever seen.”
The investigation began last Friday, following tips that led deputies to a 38-year-old man suspected of hoarding child pornography and attempting to lure minors for sex. Digital forensics traced the illegal videos back to the mother’s phone. A search of their St. Petersburg home uncovered evidence, with the girl found safe but deeply traumatized. The father and sibling, who lived in the house, were cleared of any involvement after interviews.
The mother confessed to forcing the acts and distributing the videos. Sheriff Gualtieri said, “These acts constitute sexual battery or, as commonly referred to, rape, and because of the child’s age, the mother’s crimes are capital offences punishable by death.” The 38-year-old man faces felony charges, and authorities are continuing to examine his role and pursue additional search warrants.
