NORFOLK, Va - Two Norfolk women are accused of having sex with a 
dog while communicating with an inmate in two city jails.
34-year-old Jermaine Gaye was arrested on January 31 for a hit-
and-run. News 3 told you how Gaye stands accused of hitting a 
police car before driving off at a high rate of speed.
They said he eventually crashed, and two people were 
hospitalized as a result.
While being held in the Norfolk Jail, court documents state that 
Gaye spoke to three women over the phone, encouraging them to 
threaten the witness in his case.
Court records state that Denise Kearney and Ashley Pinkett 
allegedly called the witness five times over the course of a few 
days and tried to convince her “to either change her story or 
not come to court.”
It states they also allegedly went to the witness' home.
Pinkett and Kearney are accused of having sex with Gaye’s dog 
while “he encouraged them over the phone from the Norfolk City 
Jail,” according to court records. The alleged sexual acts 
occurred on March 18, March 27, March 29, April 2, April 3 and 
April 7.
Court records state Pinkett mentioned photographing the act.
Around this time, Gaye was moved from the Norfolk Jail to the 
Virginia Beach Jail due to his attempt to allegedly establish an 
improper relationship with a jail employee in Norfolk. On April 
11 and April 12, during a video chat from the Virginia Beach 
Jail, Pinkett allegedly had sex with Gaye’s dog at home while 
Gaye encouraged her over video chat with what appeared to be a 
white towel draped over the back of his head.
Gaye is facing 34 charges, including several counts of cruelty 
to animals. He is being held without bond.
Pinkett is facing 20 charges including bestiality, animal 
cruelty charges and tampering with a witness. She has court on 
June 13, and is currently being held without bond.
Kearney is facing seven charges and has court on Monday. She is 
also being held without bond.
Both women declined an interview from jail.
