PALM BEACH GARDENS (CBS4) ― The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is accusing a teenager of having sex with his dog in an act caught on videotape, and Monday he was arrested on charges of child pornography as well.

Justin Sharp, of Palm Beach Gardens, is being held in jail on $10,000 bond. Police say he had sex with his four-year-old German Shepherd and also possibly with his 8-year-old German Shepherd, when Sharp was only 17-years-old.

Deputy Sheriff Eric Davis is deeply disturbed by the case.

"The animals can't speak, they can't call 911, this is case of a human being taking advantage of an animal that can't defend himself," said Davis.

Investigators also said in a police report Monday that they found videos on a computer belonging to the teen, who is now 18, displaying young girls performing sexual acts with grown men.

According to detectives, Sharp admitted to making the video, but said he only had one encounter with the dog. However, his mother testified that her son had sex four times with the dog. Mother and son live together in a townhouse.

Detectives said they had reason to believe an eight-year-old German Sheppard was also abused, so they took away both dogs and two cats.

Sharp's case first surfaced in April when deputies raided his home and seized computers.

Neighbors are shocked.

"I'm kind of surprised….I am very sad," said neighbor Adrian Miguenz.

On Monday he was charged with one count of cruelty to animals, two counts of promoting sexual performance by a child and seven counts of possessing photographs of sexual performance by a child.

It's not known when Sharp's mother is going to be able to post bond for her son. A county judge has permanently barred both of them from ever owning animals again.
