About Andrew Luster in brief
Andrew Stuart Luster is the great-grandson of cosmetics giant Max Factor, Sr. In 2003 he was convicted of multiple sexual assaults using the date-rape drug GHB. After paying USD 1 million bail, Luster failed to appear in court to defend himself against the charges in January 2003. Luster’s legal case earned major attention due to his family’s wealth. In June 2003, he was captured by American bounty hunter Duane \”Dog\” Chapman in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. On March 11, 2013, the Ventura County Superior Court vacated Luster’s 124-year sentence but not his conviction, based on the trial judge’s failure to state specific reasons for imposing consecutive sentences.
In 2016, opponents of California Proposition 57 released a brochure that stated that Luster could be released early due to the lack of clarity for what defines violent crimes. Governor Jerry Brown later clarified that since Luster would have to register as a sex offender, he would not be eligible for parole even if he was released early. The California Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court later refused to overturn this ruling.
