HGTV Star Accused of Sexual Assault to a Child in Connecticut
Dirt bag. Seems like I'm getting to use that word way too much lately, but it appears one Connecticut man personifies it if the recent allegations against him turn out to be true. Stories like this shouldn't continue to amaze me, but they still do. Even with the onslaught of ugliness about abuse recently, I still can't wrap my head around it.
Fox61.com is reporting that a reality TV personality has been charged with sexual assault in Connecticut. 36-year-old Christopher Dionne turned himself in on Jan. 29th following an investigation that started in November of last year. According to state police, Dionne, of Old Lyme, was charged with fourth-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a child.
The charges filed against Dionne reportedly involve a ten-year-old girl. The report, as far as I'm concerned, is so horrendous, I won't share the entire thing with you.
Dionne has appeared on the HGTV show Family Flip, and was in the process of filming the A&E show House Rescue at the time of his arrest.
