| Andrew Sustaita, Jr. |
For one Harris County deputy, the good news is that he has been released from jail this morning. The bad news is that he if facing some pretty creepy charges of having sexual intercourse with a dog.
A sheriff's deputy is out on bond this morning, charged after he allegedly posted video of himself performing a sex act with an animal.
Andrew C. Sustaita Jr., a six-year veteran of the Harris County Sheriff's Office, is accused of allegedly posting a video of himself performing a sex act with a dog. Sustaita was most recently assigned to the Crime Control Division and has since been relieved of duty.
Sustaita was fingered as a suspect during the course of an investigation managed by the sheriff's high tech crime unit. Investigators were alerted about obscene material coming from an account in Harris County. An investigation reveals that Sustaita was allegedly involved in producing obscene material online.
Harris County Sheriff's Office wouldn't talk about the nature of the video. However, sources confirmed to KTRK-TV in Houston the video depicts Sustaita engaged in bestiality with a small dog.
"The possession of obscene and illicit material is made even more troubling when a sheriff's office employee is found to be involved," Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
"Every resource of this office will be dedicated to protecting the public and holding our employees accountable for wrongdoing."
The deputy comes from a law enforcement family, and they said they are waiting for more information.
Sustaita’s father, also named Andrew Sustaita, says he is devastated to hear about the allegations involving his son. He describes his son as a hard worker, and says that he is reacting like any father would.
Sustaita is charged with obscenity, a state jail felony.
Before coming to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, Sustaita's LinkedIn profile said he was a U.S. Army specialist, and also worked at Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office.
A source who knows the deputy tells Eyewitness News, in his experience and knowledge, he knows him as an honorable and committed family man.
Sustaita is expected in court by tomorrow. Investigators say more charges could be filed.
