In 2012, Dykstra served a six-and-a-half-month sentence in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to bankruptcy fraud and other charges. Last August, he was accused of sexual harassment on the set of Fox News by Caroline Heldman, an Occidental College politics professor. Heldman told the Inquirer and Daily News last year that Dykstra "seemed high" during the encounter, which Dykstra said he couldn't remember.
