Thursday, April 30, 2026 - An American woman has admitted to paying thousands of dollars to have others make s£xual torture videos involving adult and baby monkeys.
Such sick videos are known as "animal crush
videos". They show real monkeys being burn£d alive, having their g£nitals
mutilated, and experiencing other atrocities
Amanda Leigh Fourez, a US citizen from Illinois,
pleaded guilty in federal court to the offences.
The videos were made for the pleasure of an "animal
crushing" ring and shared in their sick group.
"Fourez admitted to her role in making these horrific
videos and posting them online," said ICE Director Todd M.
Lyons.
"What kind of sick person would pay someone to make a
video of s£xualized animal torture?
"ICE will continue investigating these sadistic online
groups and do everything in our power to stop them."
Fourez was a member of online chat groups dedicated to
making, distributing and discussing violent and s£xual videos of animals.
She’s not the first US citizen to plead guilty in this
"animal-crushing" conspiracy ring.
Another member of these groups, Joseph Garrett
Buckland, of Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, pled guilty to one count
of conspiracy to create and distribute animal crush videos in early
April.
"Producing and trafficking in animal crush videos is a
serious federal crime," said United States Attorney Rivetti.
"Intentionally inflicting harm and torture on innocent
animals not only feeds a broader market of criminal depravity, it also often is
linked to, or leads to, additional dangerous and violent conduct that further
erodes society and public safety.
"With our law enforcement partners, we will continue to
investigate and prosecute all crimes involving violations of federal law
relating to horrific acts of cruelty to animals."
ICE and the FBI investigated the case with a release
claiming that Americans don’t know the
non-immigration-related work the agency do.
