Christopher Dionne, who hosted the pilot episode of the HGTV show Family Flip, has been found guilty of sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor, according to Page Six. The charges stem from an incident in November 2017 at his Connecticut home involving a 10 year old girl who was at a sleepover for his daughter.
The Hartford Courant reported on details from the arrest warrant, which alleged the conduct took place while the girl was at the home. According to the warrant, Dionne told the girl not to tell her mother. Dionne initially denied any wrongdoing to police, according to the same reporting, and told officers the girl was awake when he came home.
Police began investigating while Dionne was in California filming the A&E series House Rescue. A&E suspended production of that show soon after the allegations surfaced.
The victim has not been identified. We are reporting the verdict as it stood at the time, as detailed by Page Six and the Hartford Courant.
