Tony McCollister, a former participant on the programme 'Neighbours with Benefits', has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in response to a series of charges involving the sexual abuse of a minor and sexual conduct with animals.
As he stood before a judge this week, McCollister entered his plea in response to 26 felony counts related to the sexual assault of a child under the age of 10, as well as four misdemeanour counts of sexual conduct with an animal.
