Malia Nummerdor is charged with having sexual contact with a dog after her estranged husband reportedly caught her in the sick act on their home CCTV cameras in Florida
A Florida mum who was allegedly caught by her husband having sex with their pet dog has thanked “my real ones” in a new Facebook post, declaring “I will shine again”. It comes following reports that she’s not permitted to see her children as the investigation continues.
Malia Nummerdor, 38, is currently out on bail and couch-surfing with friends. Sources say the insurance agent is allowed to visit her £70,000 Punta Gorda residence for evening meals because she has nowhere else to stay, though it remains unclear why she can’t stay overnight. The dogs reportedly remain in the house.
The case has unsettled her quiet neighbourhood, where Nummerdor – reportedly currently barred from seeing her two sons – reportedly faces threatening mail from animal lovers.
Supporters have launched a GoFundMe page and offered Facebook backing after Nummerdor reportedly claimed her partner framed her. She has now started replying to positive messages posted on her social media account. One Facebook supporter, Andre Bernard, posted: “Keep ya head up girl we here for u”. To which the accused mum replied: “Only keep it down long enough to pray!!! Cannot thank my real ones enough”.
Andre replied again, writing: “That’s all we really need is some prayers so happy your out u ever need a sound mind to speak to I’m here known u for over 25 yrs plus u still a star in my book.” Nummerdor added: “THANK YOUUUUU!!!!! I will shine again”.
Others offered their support for Nummerdor, with Vianney Denisse Car adding: Sending you love.. I’m here for you too!!!”. Nummerdor finished with: “love you baby! Thank you soooo much from the bottom of my heart”.
The investigation began on September 11, when her estranged husband, Erik Nummerdor accused her of the abuse on Facebook. Erik claimed hidden bedroom cameras installed to track stolen coin-jar money caught her partially nude with the dog, named Rancher (referenced as Ranger in court records).
The estranged husband, who admitted he has been prison, even claimed “I’m going to need therapy” after allegedly catching his wife in the act. He added he had been the target of online hate and that people would rather “see me hanged than tell the truth” in a bombshell video posted to his Facebook page last month.
Malia’s husband revealed that what’s to come will be “ugly”, but claimed “I was put here to speak for the ones who couldn’t speak for themselves”, presumably referring to the dog.
He says: “There’s a lot that’s gonna come to the table and it’s messy, it’s ugly, but for anyone who thinks that I didn’t consider our kids, these families, our friends, with this – I thought really hard about this and ultimately I know I did the right thing, and I was put here to speak for the ones who couldn’t speak for themselves.
“There’s so much hate in this world and I’m getting so much of it for standing up for what’s right. I’m gonna need some help, I don’t want money, I need some therapy for sure because my brain is just gone because of all this.”
Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to the Daily Star that Malia was released on bail and is due to appear in court soon. She has denied the allegations against her.
When Malia was interviewed, she is said to have acknowledged the video with the dog but said there was no sexual contact. She said she was just petting the dog.
