"According to the nonprofit Animal Welfare Institute, crush videos "typically depict women in stilettos or bare feet literally crushing, stomping on, or impaling small, helpless animals to satisfy the bizarre sexual fetishes of sadistic viewers." Prosecutors allege the purpose of Seymour's online groups "was to exchange and distribute animal crush videos depicting the torture, murder, sexually sadistic mutilation and sexual abuse of animals, specifically baby and adult monkeys.""
"According to her indictment, Seymour is accused of distributing a video that depicted one monkey being tied up and forced to watch as another monkey was tortured and had its genitals crushed. Operating on social media sites and encrypted messaging platforms such as Facebook and Telegram, the groups purportedly included hundreds of members. Seymour faces up to seven years in prison for the distribution charge and up to five years in prison for the conspiracy charge."
