Tony McCollister, 43, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity this week in Warren County Common Pleas Court, according to reports. McCollister was initially arrested Dec. 23 in Union Township and charged with felony pandering of obscene material involving children and misdemeanor sexual conduct with animals.

Prosecutors allege McCollister uploaded child sexual abuse imagery to a Google account on Nov. 23 and engaged in sexual acts with two dogs he owned. He was ordered to stay away from children and pets and held on a $250,000 bond following his arrest.

WLWT-TV reported that McCollister’s listed home address was a residence owned by Erica Grove, 43, who also faces a misdemeanor charge of sexual conduct with an animal. Grove was served a court summons the same day McCollister was arrested.

As the investigation continued, authorities uncovered additional allegations involving a girl under the age of 6. Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell said investigators found evidence that the child had allegedly been drugged and sexually assaulted.

“They drugged the girl specifically to rape her,” Fornshell said in remarks previously reported. “It’s just hard to process when you see what these people are capable of.”

McCollister was subsequently charged with 30 counts tied to the allegations, while Grove faces 24 counts. McCollister formally entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity and filed a motion seeking a court-ordered evaluation of his mental state at the time of the alleged offenses.

McCollister previously appeared on the 2015 A&E series Neighbors with Benefits, which followed couples involved in a swingers lifestyle in suburban Ohio. The show drew national controversy before its debut, with activist organizations including One Million Moms and Citizens for Community Values criticizing the network’s decision to air it. The series was canceled after two episodes.

The criminal case remains pending as the court considers the request for a mental health evaluation.
