Woman who shared animal sexual abuse video to serve three months

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- One of the women allegedly involved in a love triangle tangled with bestiality will serve three months in prison after her sentencing on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, Feb. 4, Erica Corpening, the woman who shared a video of former teacher Chanelle Lincoln sexually abusing her dog, pled guilty to two counts of revenge porn, making her the second of the three people involved in this case now sentenced.

She was sentenced to 12 months in jail on the charge -- though nine of those months were suspended, meaning she will only serve three months.

According to the Henrico County Commonwealth's Attorney, the charges were originally sexual abuse of an animal, but were changed to disseminating images of another, otherwise known as revenge porn.

In early December 2025, Lincoln, the former teacher charged with felony sexual abuse of an animal in October 2024, pled guilty to a lesser charge of misdemeanor animal cruelty and will serve no jail time.

Lincoln was charged after an explicit video was sent to her principal at Pocahontas Middle School, where she used to work.

According to court documents, Lincoln and Corpening were both in a romantic relationship with Kent Montgomery, who allegedly recorded Lincoln sexually abusing her dog over FaceTime in 2021 and is also facing a bestiality charge.

Corpening found the video in June 2023 while going through Montgomery’s phone when she believed he was cheating on her. Court documents show that Corpening allegedly blackmailed Lincoln with said video and sent it out on Oct. 2, 2024.

Montgomery is the last of the three people in this case to be sentenced.
