Christian Steward Oscar Nichols is accused of dressing in a black and white dog costume while having sex with his Siberian husky before posting the disturbing videos online

A Florida man is accused of dressing in a black and white dog costume while having sex with his Siberian husky before posting the disturbing videos online.

Christian Steward Oscar Nichols, 21, has been charged with aggravated animal cruelty after police say he filmed himself molesting his pet.

In the clip the dog is said to be in distress and tried to run away before its owner is then said to have hit it with a sex toy.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said: 'The costumed man is seen in the video using his penis and multiple penis shaped sex toys to have inappropriate sexual contact with a Siberian Husky dog.

'Detectives say the dog in the video was clearly in distress. At one point during the video, the dog tries to run away and the man responds by striking the dog with a sex toy.'

Nichols admitted to detectives he made the video with his Siberian Husky, Ember, and shared it on the internet, according to officers.

Police were alerted to the video by someone living in another state who reported seeing video and photographs of a man having sex with a dog online to Pinellas County Animal Services.

Authorities say they were then able to trace the videos and images back to Nichols and say he admitted to making the footage.

Ember and another dog were removed from Nichols' home in Oldsmar on Monday after the investigation began on January 25.
