Ex-Playboy Playmate admits helping Canadian boyfriend enter US illegally
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – A former Playboy Playmate has admitted to helping her Canadian boyfriend after he illegally entered the United States in northern New York last summer.
Syracuse’s The Post-Standard newspaper says Colleen Shannon pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to a felony and faces a sentence ranging from no jail time to 10 months.
Federal agents say the 35-year-old Los Angeles resident and her Canadian boyfriend were arrested after he illegally crossed the border and rendezvoused with her in Fort Covington.
Officials say the boyfriend has a criminal record in Canada.
Shannon was the centerfold for Playboy’s 50th anniversary edition in 2004. She works as a disc jockey and calls herself the world’s sexiest DJ.
Shannon’s boyfriend told authorities he knew his criminal record would bar his U.S. entry. He’s jailed and faces deportation.
