Florida: Brianna Shean, 27, already charged with animal cruelty and child neglect, facing additional charge

FLORIDA -- A Fountain mother accused of child neglect and cruelty to animals is now facing a new charge after investigators reported they found a sexually explicit video of her in which a child was present, according to court records.

Brianna Devon Shean, 27, was arrested in September on a charge of use of a child in a sexual performance. She and 31-year-old Bobby Franklin Norris initially were arrested on charges of child neglect and animal cruelty in August.


About a month later, though, deputies got a tip about pornography in the home and served a search warrant on the couple’s iPad only to find a sexually explicit video where a child allegedly can be seen climbing onto the bed with her, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office reported.

In one video, investigators said, Shean is seen in bed rubbing her breasts and using explicit language while the child can be seen climbing onto the bed.

Shean was conditionally released from custody on a pretrial program and ordered to have an adult present any time she is in the child’s presence. However, after reviewing the video, prosecutors asked that Shean’s bond be revoked. She was again arrested Oct. 18 and is being held without bond, court records indicated.

In August, Shean and Norris were arrested after deputies discovered their children suffering from a skin infection, smelling of urine and feces and a starving dog in the bathroom of her home. Shean allegedly told deputies she had been drugged and raped.


During a search of the home, deputies found it a “disastrous mess,” with food on the counters, floor and couch. There were allegedly garbage and dirty diapers lying throughout the home, and a dog that looked to be near death from starvation also found was trapped in a bathroom along with “a lot of feces,” deputies said.

Despite the children’s skin infections, neither Shean nor Norris had sought medical treatment for them. Shean, however, told deputies she went to the hospital Sunday to get treatment for herself.

Shean was charged with felony counts of child neglect and animal cruelty. Norris also was charged with child abuse, child neglect and animal cruelty.

Norris was ordered to not have contact with the child or Shean.
