Henderson, Nevada – A former U.S. Air Force officer is facing federal charges for funding and creating crush videos that show monkeys being sexually mutilated, tortured, and killed. The man identified by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oregon is 48-year-old David Christopher Noble; the ring leader of an online animal abuse group.
The press release outlines the charges Noble is facing: conspiring to engage in animal crushing and creating and distributing animal crush videos, creating animal crush videos, and illegally possessing a firearm as a dishonorably discharged person.
As a group administrator, Noble paid for the creation of and celebrated videos depicting the torture, sexually-sadistic mutilation, and murder of adult and juvenile monkeys.
For those unfamiliar with “crush videos,” they are a highly disturbing and illegal form of animal cruelty that involves the torture and killing of small animals. The videos often depict individuals, commonly referred to as “crush fetishists,” intentionally crushing the animals with their feet or other objects, leading to their suffering and death. The primary purpose of crush videos is to cater to the perverse fetishes of certain individuals who derive pleasure or sexual gratification from witnessing the suffering and destruction of small creatures.
Suffice it to say, crush videos are extraordinarily vile, and anyone who creates and funds them must be held accountable for their sadistic behavior, and removed from society for as long as legally possible. If you are appalled by David Christopher Noble’s involvement in the torture and sexually-sadistic mutilation of monkeys, please add your name to the petition today! Noble is dangerous – anyone who can intentionally be this cruel to an innocent animal poses a threat to people as well.
Noble could face up to seven years in federal prison and three years of supervised release. Additionally, illegally possessing a firearm as a dishonorably discharged person is punishable by up to 15 years in federal prison and three years of supervised release.
We the undersigned demand that David Christopher Noble is held responsible for his involvement in the torture, and sexually-sadistic mutilation of monkeys. We are petitioning for Noble to receive the maximum punishment allowable by law for the “conspiracy to engage in animal crushing and to create and distribute animal crush videos,” charges stemming from the creation and distribution of these sadistic videos. At sentencing, we want to see Noble prohibited from owning or residing with animals and ordered to undergo extensive mental health treatment.
Individuals are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. Animal Victory relies upon the authorities and the court system to determine guilt or innocence.

Final Update 4/24/2024: Victory!! Animal Victory is thrilled to share the outcome of this case with our supporters. David Noble has been sentenced to 48 months in federal prison and three years’ supervised release; a sentence longer than the range for the crime and higher than prosecutors recommended. “The victims in this case cannot speak for themselves, but the impact of the grotesque violence brought upon them is unmistakable. At the direction of David Noble and his co-conspirators, the producers of these animal abuse videos not only killed monkeys but did so in a way that extended their pain and suffering as long as possible,” said Nathan J. Lichvarcik, Chief of the U.S. Attorney’s Office Eugene and Medford Branch Offices. “Today’s sentence should make it clear to others engaged in this heinous conduct that they will be held responsible for their crimes.” Thanks to everyone who took the time to sign the petition and help us fight for justice!
