Terro responded to an online advertisement by the East Metro Human Trafficking Task Force on Sept. 20, 2022, and set up a meeting with an undercover officer. He initiated a text conversation with the decoy, saying he wanted the girl to have sexual intercourse with his dog while he watched and masturbated. Twice the decoy told Terro she was 17 years old, which he acknowledged.
Terro agreed to pay the decoy $350 to watch and an extra $50 to film the sexual encounter. Over the course of several days, Terro “vividly described” in texts “the process of how his dog would have sexual intercourse,” the
complaint states. He said it would last anywhere between a half-hour and an hour.
Terro sent the decoy several links to bestiality websites that showed dogs having sex with people. He said he would bring flavored vodka.
Officers were in Sauk Centre when Terro left his home for the Oct. 2 meet-up at a Woodbury gas station. They followed him for 120 miles until he got to the gas station, when he was arrested.
In his car, officers found Lincoln, along with $400 and a bottle of flavored vodka. Officers seized Terro’s cellphone and recovered the text message string between him and the decoy. Lincoln was also seized and handed over to the Animal Humane Society in Woodbury, according to court documents.
In an interview with police and also at his March 26 plea hearing, Terro admitted to searching for a commercial sex ad, communicating with someone he believed was a 17-year-old girl and arranging the meeting. He told police that once he arrived at the gas station, he planned to cancel the meeting.
