Last week, Ohio police arrested a man for sex crimes involving children and two dogs.
Arrested on December 23, Tony McCollister, 43, was arraigned on Monday for felony pandering obscene material involving children and misdemeanor sexual conduct with animals. WXIX reported that McCollister was not only accused of uploading illicit materials of children to his Google account in late November, but he also engaged in sex acts with his two dogs at his Warren County home.
WLWT reported that McCollister starred in “Neighbors with Benefits,” an A&E reality show about swingers that premiered in 2015 but was canceled after two episodes due to backlash.
According to TMZ, McCollister’s two dogs were seized and a judge ordered him to stay at least 500 feet away from all children and animals. He was released from custody after posting $250,000 bail.
WLWT reported that McCollister’s home is owned by a woman named Erica Grove — who was also charged with sexual conduct with an animal. A court summons was also issued for Grove, but there is no indication she is in custody. Grove and McCollister’s relationship was not disclosed.
Grove’s arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday.
