Prentiss Madden, a South Floridian,4 0 year old veterinarian was arrested on child pornography and sexual assaulting of dogs charges.
Madden's home was raided on 2/24. FBI Agents seized his phones and computer. FBI caught wind of the these heinous acts from a cybertip from Dropbox and private social-media chats.
The Caring Hands facility since the arrest has fired Madden and vow to assist federal agents in their case. According to the miamiherald.com, "Madden is charged under a federal law that outlaws animal abuse, one that was initially created in response to a genre of cruelty in which people video record the harming of animals for the sexual gratification of viewers."
As this case unfolds, animal abuse is not uncommon in this area. "Among those charged by state prosecutors in recent years: a man who beat his Beagle puppy to death, a teen who lit a caged cat on fire, an Instagram model who kicked her puppy, a man who conducted botched amateur dog surgeries and several accused of hoarding animals in squalid conditions."
