CLEARFIELD – A couple is facing criminal charges for allegedly making sexual content with a dog.
Kristie L. Chau, 33, of Philipsburg and David J. Weitoish, 42, of Ocala, Fla, are charged by Trooper Jonathan W. Uren of the Clearfield-based state police.
Weitoish is charged with misdemeanor display obscene/sexual materials, unlawful dissemination of intimate image, criminal attempt and conspiracy, plus summary cruelty to animals.
Chau is charged with misdemeanor produce/present/direct obscene performance, criminal attempt and conspiracy, plus summary cruelty to animals.
Weitoish failed to appear for his preliminary hearing Wednesday, at which point his case was held to county court and a bench warrant was requested for his arrest.
Chau waived her right to a preliminary hearing during centralized court, and her bail is currently set at $5,000 unsecured.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, on Jan. 30, a witness told state police she had received a video and picture of Chau performing sexual acts on a dog. She sent both to a state police cellular phone.
In an interview, a second witness said she had received the same video and picture from Weitoish in late August of 2019. She said that Weitoish sent them out after Chau ended their relationship and moved out.
Chau allegedly admitted that in July of 2018, Weitoish recorded her performing the sexual acts on the dog, and that he saved the video to his phone.
