Bizarre sex tape spurs criminal investigation

A sex tape has launched a criminal investigation.

Fearing that her husband might hurt her, police say a Clay County woman contacted the sheriff's office. The woman is referred to as Jane for her protection.

While Clay County officers investigated, Jane gave them a video tape. Its contents shocked detectives. A police report says the video shows Jane and her husband torturing a live frog, two live chameleons, and a live parakeet - all for sexual gratification.

Detective Robert Smith of the Bradford County Sheriff's Office said, "On three of the animals, they were nailed to a board while they were still alive. Prior to the killing animal, they would poke the animal with different sharp objects."

The report says the couple slowly beheaded the animals with large knives.

Officers found "Jane" at her workplace in Putnam County and arrested her on Tuesday. She faces four counts of animal cruelty.

Smith said the couple has children, but they were not home at the times the tape was made.
