Sexy bachelor killed pornstar: police

LOS ANGELES - A self-proclaimed preacher who was In the America's Sexiest Bachelor pageant will be arraigned for allegedly torturing and murdering an ex-porn actress in suburban Los Angeles.

Brian Lee Randone was charged last week with beating and suffocating his girlfriend, Felicia Lee, 31, at their home on September 11.

He faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted.

The 45-year-old Randone remains jailed on US$2 million bail.

Los Angeles County district attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison did not know whether he had an attorney.

Lee had bit 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 the TV network Fox.
