Who is Megan Anne Walthall? Virginia woman taped herself sexually abusing boyfriend while he died from overdose
FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA: A woman has been awarded 16 years behind bars for filming herself sexually abusing her boyfriend as he died of a drug overdose. Megan Anne Walthall was sentenced by Judge Victoria Willis on Friday, Match 5, in Stafford County Circuit Court. She had earlier pleaded guilty to abusing an incapacitated adult, sexual battery, and two counts of possessing illegal drugs.
The evidence presented in the court by prosecutor Sandra Park showed that the 32-year-old woman called 911 on July 15, 2019, reporting about one Brandon Dye’s unresponsive condition. Officers who responded to the address rushed Dye to Mary Washington Hospital, but he was declared dead there because of a heroin overdose.

Later, a raid was carried out at Walthall’s house from where officers found drugs, paraphernalia and a video that she shot while Dye was dying. The footage showed the woman sexually abusing the victim and laughing while he died. Prosecutor Park said the video was clear proof that Walthall did not call help immediately as she waited nearly 45 minutes before calling 911.
But defense attorney Price Koch defended Walthall, saying she was also on drugs at the time while she videotaped the episode to show it to Dye later hoping that he would stop overdosing. Koch also stated that his client tried hard to “get up” her boyfriend and took the help of ineffective methods, like pouring water on him and shaking him repeatedly to wake him up. “It was done stupidly and wrongly but there was no malice”, the defense said while adding there was no proof that concluded Walthal’s actions led to Dye’s death. However, Park claimed the opposite. The prosecutor said calling 911 for help was inexcusable and that the “level of depravity” shown in the footage warranted years of jail time.
As per reports, Walthall’s second drug conviction was related to a December 12, 2019 drug overdose incident at Newton’s Motel in Stafford. However, the victim, in that case, survived and told investigators the woman gave drugs, which he used with her. At the time, after the overdose, Walthall confessed to having gotten rid of the needle and heroin from the victim’s room and hiding it in the friend’s room, court records stated.
In another incident, a Missouri woman pleaded guilty to domestic violence as she allegedly almost suffocated her boyfriend by sitting on his face demanding him to perform oral sex on her. Amy Nicole Parrino reportedly chased the victim naked in their Boone County, Missouri home on December 2, 2018, and allegedly hit him with a belt, cellphone, brass plates, and even beat him up with her bare fists. The 44-year-old then allegedly pushed him to the ground, sat on his face, and yelled "eat my p***y" while he lay under choking and unable to breathe.
The victim reportedly felt "sick to my stomach" and subsequently told her to "leave him alone”. Her boyfriend also told police officers he does not feel safe living with her as she allegedly becomes "very violent, very quickly". Later, Parrino was charged with one count of first-degree sexual abuse and one count of third-degree domestic assault.
