Would you trade your dog for two computers? Police say a Pittsburg County woman did just that, trading her dog to a nineteen-year-old Owasso woman in exchange for two laptops. When the Pittsburg County woman went to use the computers though, she discovered videos depicting a man engaging in sex acts with a dog.
Lori Hall is the head of Tulsa's SPCA, “I don't know if disgusted is the right word, it's sickening.
That video scared the woman enough; she drove all the way back to Owasso to alert police about the former computer owner. According to police paperwork, she worried the dog she traded for the computers was in danger of being molested.
FOX23 has chosen not to reveal the identity of the woman accused in this case due to the disturbing nature of the allegations and her young age.
“It's, it's unspeakable.”
Criminal statutes call it "crimes against nature."
“It’s usually a hush, hush thing, and it's found out through people's mistakes,” Hall told FOX23.
Hall says animals can be victims of sexual abuse, just like children.
“To me, it's the same thing. Neither one can speak for their rights, neither one know their rights, neither really one know how to speak for their rights.”
Initially, an Owasso Police report says the nineteen year-old Owasso woman was being investigated for sodomy and crimes against nature, but once she was booked in jail, she was held on a felony complaint of preparing, or distributing obscene material. We do know it took several months to get the nineteen year-old into custody; she's since bonded out of jail.
FOX23 tried to talk with Owasso Police about this case, but we were told the department would not do any interviews about what happened.
