“Frazier admitted she was the one in the video but stated she was forced to do it,” according to an arrest affidavit.
“There is no evidence of that claim, but we are investigating it,” JCSD Investigator Sergeant JD Carter said.
Two pets were taken from the residence in Mississippi where she was detained.
According to the investigators, one of the dogs is a German shepherd that Frazier refers to as “a service dog.”
According to court filings, the dog is the same one that can be seen in a video of her that was uploaded to SnapChat in February.
When she was detained, there were two males inside the house.
She is accused of having abnormal relations with animals and aggravated animal cruelty.
She insists that took place. The footage depicts Frazier and the dog having sex in Myrick in February. The “geo” location of the video suggests it occurred in Myrick, despite the fact that she said it took place in Hattiesburg.
Deputy Regina Newton transported the canines to Sawmill Animal Hospital in Laurel.
The inquiry was started after Newton, an expert in cases of animal mistreatment, was sent the frightening footage.
Frazier allegedly stated in court filings that she was “threatened to do it” and that “people pay me” to produce the films.
The case has been dubbed one of the most “disturbing” investigations by authorities.
Sergeant JD Carter, from Jones County Sheriff’s Department, said in a statement: “In my 17 years in law enforcement, this is one of the most disturbing cases that I’ve ever investigated.”
“JCSD is in possession of several videos that are so graphic that we are not at liberty to release them or even discuss the particular content.
“The investigation into this case is far from over.”
Mr Carter said: “We’ve never dealt with this particular type of case before. There are really no true words to describe it other than disgusting.
“So, right now, we’re still in that initial phase, right past the first part of it. But, we’re still going to look into it to see if there’s more.”
Police have asked local sheriff departments to look into more potential tapes because they suspect there may be more films shot in other counties.
