A Warren man accused of paying off a gambling debt by arranging for his wife to be sexually assaulted pleaded no contest Tuesday to second-degree criminal sexual conduct, Local 4 reported.

Prosecutors said that Anthony Smith (pictured, left)arranged for a man to come to his home last June and rape his wife to repay the money he owed.

Police said that the incident happened while the husband laid awake next to her in the Continental Trailer Park, located near Eight Mile and Dequindre roads. The attacker told Smith to put his face down in a pillow, then began to assault his wife, according to police.

After committing three sexual acts on the woman, the attacker told the husband that he owed $5,000, then left without incident, according to Detective David Andrews.

Smith told police that he lost money playing pool at the Bottoms Up East lounge. His debt reportedly grew to $5,000, according to police.

Andrews said the arranged home invasion and rape were intended to pay off some of the debt. The detective said that Smith confessed to the setting up the plot and was remoseful after talking to investigators.

The woman was reportedly unaware of the gambling debt.

Smith is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 22.
