Warning: This article contains description of child and animal abuse some may find upsetting
A woman has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing her dog with over 150 videos allegedly providing evidence of her doing so, court records state.
In 2021, a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about a Snapchat user sharing illicit content involving a minor led to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police launching an investigation into 31-year-old Brennah Montgomery.
When police later searched her address in August 2022, they found an alleged 153 videos showing her sexually abusing her dog, and she was arrested in May 2024.

Montgomery reportedly denied downloading child pornographic material, claiming her phone 'automatically downloaded' videos she found in a group chat on encrypted messaging service Telegram, 8 News Now reports.
However, she later admitted to sending three videos over Snapchat depicting sexual conduct of a child.
After searching her property, authorities discovered 153 videos allegedly showing Montgomery and her dog.

Authorities report some of the alleged 153 videos were duplicates, some showed the unclear view of a woman using peanut butter and five videos allegedly gave a view of Montgomery's partial or full face.
The arrest report states, when questioned by authorities, Montgomery admitted to performing sexual acts with the dog. However, she allegedly argued she did not force the animal to do anything.
However, last week, she pleaded guilty to one count of bestiality, a gross misdemeanor and one felony count of possession of visual presentation depicting sexual conduct of a child.
A Facebook page under the name of Brennah Montgomery shows posts of a dog - however, it's unknown whether this is the dog involved in the videos.

The 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 currently reported as set to take place on May 12. If convicted, she faces a $7,000 fine alongside a maximum sentence of seven years behind bars for both charges, and will be required to register as a sex offender.
