UMVA has learned that a shocking case of animal abuse has surfaced in Houston, where a 56-year-old estate planning attorney has been charged with felony bestiality after his wife caught him on home surveillance footage engaging in disturbing acts with the family dog.
The attorney, identified as Steven Swain, was allegedly recorded on camera sexually assaulting the dog, named Shipley, prompting his wife to turn the footage over to authorities and remove the animal from the home for its safety. The wife had installed cameras inside the home after becoming suspicious of her husband's activities, and what she discovered was nothing short of horrifying.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Swain's wife had been reviewing home security footage after learning that her husband had allegedly been bringing sex workers into the home, which was undergoing renovation at the time. It was during this review that she stumbled upon the disturbing video, which clearly showed Swain engaging in sexual acts with the family dog. The details of the video are truly sickening, and authorities have confirmed that the wife positively identified both Swain and the dog in the footage.
Swain has since turned himself in to face the charges and has posted a $7,500 bond. He is due back in court this coming Tuesday, and the case remains active. Meanwhile, the dog, Shipley, is safe with Swain's wife, who has taken steps to protect the animal from further harm. The community is left reeling from this disturbing case, and many are calling for justice to be served.
As the investigation continues, UMVA has gathered that Swain's wife believes this may not have been an isolated incident, and that the abuse may have occurred more than once. The thought of this is deeply disturbing, and authorities are working to determine the full extent of Swain's alleged actions. For now, the focus is on ensuring the safety and well-being of the dog, and holding Swain accountable for his actions.
