A woman has confessed to sexually abusing her dog, with over 150 videos allegedly serving as evidence, according to court documents.
In 2021, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children notified authorities about a Snapchat user suspected of sharing illicit content involving a minor. This tip prompted an investigation by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police into 31-year-old Brennah Montgomery.
During a search of her residence in August 2022, police reportedly discovered 153 videos of her engaging in sexual acts with her dog, and she was subsequently arrested in May 2024.
Montgomery initially denied downloading child pornography, claiming her phone ‘automatically downloaded’ videos from a group chat on the encrypted messaging service Telegram, as reported by 8 News Now.
But she later confessed to sharing three videos on Snapchat depicting the sexual abuse of a child.
Upon examining her property, authorities found 153 videos allegedly involving Montgomery and her dog.
Some of these videos were reportedly duplicates, some showed unclear footage involving peanut butter, and five videos allegedly included Montgomery’s partial or full face.
According to the arrest report, Montgomery admitted to committing sexual acts with the dog when questioned by authorities, though she claimed the animal was not coerced.
Last week, she pleaded guilty to one count of bestiality, classified as a gross misdemeanor, and one felony count related to the possession of visual material depicting child sexual conduct.
A Facebook profile under the name Brennah Montgomery features posts about a dog, though it is unclear if this is the same dog involved in the videos.
A post from February 2024 reads: “Although it saddens me, I realize now is the best chance for both of us; new beginnings will bring immense joy & success – especially for dearest Piper! I am no longer able to provide her with the care and attention she deserves. Home is where the heart is.
“Let’s help Piper find her sanctuary! If you have any leads or recommendations for trustworthy adoption centers, please let me know!”
Montgomery’s sentencing is scheduled for May 12. If convicted, she faces a potential $7,000 fine, a maximum of seven years in prison for both charges, and will have to register as a sex offender.
