Cassie Snay, 26, was charged with two counts of bestiality after investigators discovered explicit videos of her engaging in sexual acts with a dog on the phone of her ex, registered sex offender Trey Mettler, and she allegedly confessed to creating and sending the videos. The alleged acts occurred over several months at her home and a Motel 6, and she now claims she was coerced by Mettler, though her defense has been met with skepticism. Snay was arrested, released under monitored conditions, and is scheduled to appear in court on February 4, 2026, while the investigation and public reaction continue.

A 41-year-old Ohio mother of three, Michaela Medek, was initially believed to have died from sudden cardiac arrest after her husband found her unresponsive at home, and detectives first reported no signs of foul play.
