Sicko woman stripped naked to torture puppies, kittens and ducklings in sadistic porn vids for cash
A WOMAN who filmed herself naked torturing animals to death in sickening online porn videos has been jailed for five-and-a-half years.
Christina Stepanenko, 25, was selling clips in which she killed dogs, cats and other pets in a closed group on social networks.
Animal rights activists reported her to authorities in Ukraine after discovering the disturbing pictures and videos.
Stepanenko was often naked as she tortured, butchered or strangled cats, geese, dogs and rabbits.
She was paid by followers for the fetish porn - making an estimated £3,800 a month before she was caught.
Her clients are reported to be members of an online community who get a twisted thrill from seeing animal cruelty.
Christina, who was 24 at the time, was quickly found in a village near the Ukrainian city Zaporozhye.
Police found animals in her courtyard that were still alive after her torture sessions, as well as the remains of others she had killed.
Christina claimed that she was forced to film the violent scenes by a married man named Alexander, aged 52, who sheltered her after her abusive parents kicked her out of the family home.
She said: “At first I didn’t want to do it, but he blocked my debit cards.”
She was jailed for five and a half years after being found guilty of producing, possessing and distributing pornography and cruelty to animals.
The Volnyansky District Court accepted that the man she named had clearly been involved in the video production and he was also jailed for four years as an accomplice.
Both will be banned from selling or distributing photos or videos for a period of three years.
