Andrew Luster is an heir to the fortunes of the Max Factor cosmetics company, and much of his life has 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. Prosecuters soon arrested Luster and brought Luster to trial; meanwhile, police officers found videotapes of Luster having sex with the women in question, including one tape labeled "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 wended his way to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he was taken into custody, along with three self-proclaimed bounty hunters and two TV crewmen, in a noisy scuffle on June 18, 2003. The next day he was deported back to the US, and put in prison.
