WTF?!?!
According to WLWT on Friday, Tony McCollister, a 43-year-old former reality star who appeared on the controversial A&E swinger show Neighbors With Benefits, has been arrested this week on two different sex crime charges in Ohio — and the details are absolutely shocking! He was charged with pandering obscenity involving a minor and sexual conduct with an animal. OMG! See his mugshot (below):
Court documents obtained by the publication claimed that McCollister knowingly uploaded child sexual abuse imagery to his Google account. He also allegedly engaged in sexual conduct with two different dogs that he owned. Yes, his own pets. Horrific. Prosecutors said both crimes happened on November 23.

WLWT reported McCollister was arraigned in court on Thursday, where his bond was set to $250,000. He was also ordered to have no contact with children or pets. His next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday. If found guilty, McCollister could be behind bars for years. The pander obscenity charge alone is a felony, meaning he faces up to 8 years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
In the court docs, the former television personality’s home address was listed as a home outside of South Lebanon, which is owned by a woman named Erica Grove. Court records viewed by WLWT revealed she is also facing a charge of sexual conduct with an animal by Warren County prosecutors. It’s a misdemeanor charge. There’s no arrest record for Grove, but documents indicate a court summons was served to her on December 23 — the same day that McCollister was arrested. The woman’s relationship to him is unknown at this time since she was not on the reality show, and additional information was not provided about their alleged crimes in the court documents. She is set to be arraigned on Tuesday.
For those who don’t know, McCollister was on Neighbors with Benefits back in 2015, which documented the lives of three swinger couples in Warren County, Ohio. The show didn’t last long due to public backlash, getting cancelled after only two episodes.
