A+E Networks has chosen to suspend production of FYI’s upcoming show “House Rescue,” after one of its stars was arrested on a sexual assault charge.
“In light of the allegations which just came to light, we are suspending production on the series,” a spokesman told TheWrap on Monday.
Fox News reported that Christopher J. Dionne turned himself in to Connecticut police Monday on charges of fourth-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor.
Dionne, who also appeared on the 2015 HGTV program “Family Flip,” denied the accusations while speaking to police, Fox News said.
Citing documents, Fox News said that Dionne allegedly touched a girl, identified by Fox as a friend of Dionne’s children, on the buttocks under her clothes and on her chest during a sleepover in November.
