Andrew Luster

Andrew Luster is a heir to the fortunes of Max Factor[?], and much of his life had been spent traveling, surfing at various beaches, and socializing. Luster, however, also socialized, picking up a woman named "Shauna", as well as other women. He allegedly gave those women GHB, also known as the date-rape drug, and allegedly had sex with "Shauna" and other women while they were unconscious. Because of those deeds, prosecuters arrested Luster and brought Luster to trial. In the meantime, police found videotapes of Luster having sex with the women in question, including one tape labled "Shauna GHBing". After one of the victims had testified, but before the jury viewed the "Shauna" tape, Luster vanished from his house, along with his dog and his truck.

Luster was later convicted in absentia[?] to 124 years in prison by a California court.

Luster allegedly wended his way to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he was reportedly taken into custody, along with three self-proclaimed bounty hunters and two TV crewmen, in a noisy scuffle on June 18, 2003.
