LOS ANGELES (AP) - A self-proclaimed preacher who was on the "America's Sexiest Bachelor" pageant will be arraigned next week for allegedly torturing and murdering an ex-porn actress in suburban Los Angeles.
Brian Lee Randone was charged last week with beating and suffocating Felicia Lee at their Monrovia home. He faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted.
The 45-year-old Randone remained jailed Friday on $2 million bail. Los Angeles County district attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison did not know whether he had an attorney.
Prosecutors say Randone killed his 31-year-old girlfriend on Sept. 11. No motive has been released.
Lee had bits parts in several movies, including "Rush Hour 2" and made several adult movies under the name Felicia Tang.
Randone appeared on the pageant nine years ago on Fox.
