Weir isn’t the first woman to be accused of sexual acts with dogs.
In 2022, in Kentucky, Nolene Renee Horn, a former elementary school teacher, and Christopher S. Jones were accused of engaging in sexual activity with a dog. It was the first case of its kind since the state officially banned bestiality in 2019, according to the attorney general’s office.
In April 2023, police accused 19-year-old Mississippi resident Denise Frazier of having sexual intercourse with a German Shepherd dog in a Snapchat video. In that case, police said the video was too graphic to release and the dogs were receiving medical treatment.
