An Ohio man who once appeared on a short-lived reality show about swingers has been arrested and is facing sex crime charges.
According to reports from local outlets WLWT and WKRC, Tony McCollister, who starred on the A&E series *Neighbors with Benefits*, was arrested on Tuesday, Dec. 23. Jail records show he was charged with pandering obscenity involving a minor and sexual conduct with an animal.
Court documents obtained by WLWT allege that McCollister, 43, knowingly uploaded child sexual abuse imagery to his Google account and engaged in sexual conduct with two different dogs that he owned. Authorities said both crimes occurred on Nov. 23.
Court filings also reveal that McCollister lives at a home just outside of South Lebanon, Ohio, owned by a woman named Erica Grove. Court records state that Grove is also facing a misdemeanor charge of sexual conduct with an animal and was served with a court summons on Dec. 23.
Additional information about the case was not provided in court filings, the local outlet reported. Grove did not appear on *Neighbors with Benefits*, and her relationship to McCollister is not known.
Sexual conduct with an animal is classified as a misdemeanor. Pandering obscenity is a felony and could result in up to eight years in prison and a $15,000 fine for McCollister if convicted.
Grove is set to be arraigned on Tuesday, Dec. 30, while a judge set McCollister’s bond at $250,000 on Thursday, Dec. 25. McCollister was also ordered to have no contact with children or pets. His next court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 30, according to records.
McCollister and his wife appeared as one of three main couples on the A&E series in 2015. The show, which highlighted their lifestyle as swingers, was canceled after just two episodes following backlash from viewers.
