*AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR*: Champ Arrested on Child Sex Charges

A competitor on American Ninja Warrior has been arrested on child-sex charges.

Last season’s champion, Drew Dreschel, was picked up by federal agents this morning (Thursday) in Florida. He’s accused of soliciting sex with a then-15-year-old in 2015. He’s been charged with manufacture of child pornography, enticement of a minor to travel for illicit sexual conduct, travel with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and use of interstate commerce to entice a minor.

Dreschel made a court appearance in Florida before being moved to New Jersey, where he met the girl. He allegedly had sex with her at his gym in Connecticut not long after that meeting. He faces up to life in prison.

NBC has severed ties with Dreschel, saying it was “shocked and disturbed” to hear of the allegations. (USA Today, TMZ)
