A former reality TV personality who appeared on an A&E series about swingers admitted to some of the charges against him.
A Warren County man who appeared on A&E’s “Neighbors with Benefits” pleaded guilty to 17 charges Monday as his bench trial began on remaining sex-crime allegations.
Tony McCollister pleaded guilty to 13 counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor and four counts of sexual conduct with an animal, Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell said.
McCollister was arrested in December and also faces charges including rape, gross sexual imposition and child endangering. A judge will decide the remaining counts after the bench trial.
McCollister appeared on the A&E series about swingers.
Erica Grove, who authorities said was in a relationship with McCollister, was convicted last week of two counts of gross sexual contact and two counts of child endangering. The judge found Grove not guilty of rape charges.
Grove had previously pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual conduct with an animal.
McCollister and Grove are scheduled to be sentenced in November.
