A woman has admitted to inappropriate actions involving her pet, with over 150 videos reportedly serving as evidence, according to court documents.
In 2021, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a tip about a Snapchat user sharing illegal content. This led Las Vegas police to investigate 31-year-old Brennah Montgomery.
During their search in August 2022, officers reportedly found 153 videos linked to the case. Montgomery was later taken into custody in May 2024.
When questioned, she denied saving any unlawful content and claimed her phone automatically downloaded videos from a group chat on an encrypted app, according to reports from 8 News Now. However, she later admitted to sending three videos through Snapchat.
After checking her property, investigators discovered videos that allegedly featured her and her pet. Some videos were duplicates, while others had unclear footage. Five clips reportedly showed Montgomery’s face partially or fully.
Police documents state that Montgomery later admitted to certain actions with the pet but argued that she did not force the animal in any way.
Last week, she pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count related to her pet and one felony count involving illegal visual material.
A Facebook account under her name had a February 2024 post about a dog. It is unclear if this was the same pet mentioned in the case. The post read: “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.”
She then asked for recommendations for a new home for the pet.
Montgomery is set to be sentenced on May 12. If convicted, she could face a $7,000 fine and up to seven years in prison. She will also need to register as an offender under the law.
