亚利桑那男子就参与制作虐待猴子「碾压视频」阴谋认罪：司法部10月23日公布
美国司法部10月23日宣布，亚利桑那州男子 Ernest Chavez 已就参与制作与传播虐待动物的所谓「碾压视频」阴谋认罪。司法部表示，Chavez 承认合谋制作并传播描绘对猴子实施极端暴力与性虐待的视频。
司法部去年宣布，Chavez 是因这类虐待视频被起诉的11人之一；另外三人已分别认罪，分别来自康涅狄格州与北卡罗来纳州。法庭文件显示，嫌疑人通过 Telegram 群组聚集，讨论拟制作的虐待视频主题，再经由各类网络支付应用把资金转给印度尼西亚愿意按要求在镜头前实施虐待行为的人员。
一名被指为视频来源之一的俄亥俄州男子此前已被判处108个月监禁。当局未公布 Chavez 的量刑日期。

Arizona Man Pleads Guilty in Monkey 'Crush Video' Conspiracy, DOJ Announces October 23
The U.S. Department of Justice announced on October 23 that Ernest Chavez of Arizona has pleaded guilty to conspiring to create and distribute so-called animal crush videos. The department said Chavez admitted conspiring to make and distribute videos depicting extreme violence and sexual abuse against monkeys.
The Justice Department announced last year that Chavez was among 11 people indicted over such videos; three others, from Connecticut and North Carolina, have also pleaded guilty. Court documents show the conspirators gathered in Telegram groups to discuss topics for planned torture videos, then funneled money through online payment apps to individuals in Indonesia willing to carry out the abuse on camera.
An Ohio man identified as one of the video sources was previously sentenced to 108 months in prison. Authorities did not announce a sentencing date for Chavez.
