A Louisiana stripper caught on camera having sex with a dog has been charged with raping a 4-year-old boy, police told The Times-Picayune.
Angeline C. Lodice, 26, was indicted Thursday for the alleged aggravated rape of a child sometime between November 2012 and October 2014. The Old Jefferson resident was also charged with sexual battery and production of child pornography, crimes that could land her in prison for the rest of her life.
Jefferson Parish sheriffs said Lodice's cousin gave the boy's father videos and photographs of Lodice performing oral sex on his 4-year-old son, the newspaper reported. The suspect was arrested last October after the father notified police.
Upon questioning, the former Bourbon Street club stripper admitted she was the woman in the videos, but "said she could not identify the child...because she believed she was drugged," according to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Times-Picayune.
Police also recovered a video of Lodice having sex with a dog. Jefferson Parish prosecutors did not bring charges in that incident because it took place in St. Landry Parish.
Lodice's attorney, Martin Regan, said his client will plead not guilty by reason of insanity.
"I anticipate she'll undergo both psychiatric and psychological evaluations," Regan told the newspaper.
If found mentally incompetent, Lodice will likely be sent to a state hospital for treatment. But if found guilty, any one of the charges alone could mean a life sentence.
