Former A&E personality Tony McCollister — who is charged with raping a child and having sex with two dogs — says he’s not guilty by reason of insanity … and he wants to get his head checked.
McCollister is facing 26 felony charges related to sex with a minor under the age of 10, plus 4 misdemeanor counts of sexual conduct with an animal … and on Thursday, he entered his plea and filed a motion asking the court to order an evaluation of his mental state at the time of the alleged crimes.
In Ohio — where McCollister is charged — a defendant must prove they did not know right from wrong at the time of the crime to be considered not guilty by reason of insanity.
As we told you … a judge already ordered McCollister to stay the hell away from kids and dogs … and, specifically, not to have sex with animals.
In 2015, McCollister appeared on the short-lived A&E show “Neighbors with Benefits” about a group of swingers. Public scrutiny led to the show being axed after only 2 episodes.
