Instead of going to prison, Flanders continued drugging women so his partner could rape them on film. After a judge let him and his accomplice, Emerson Callum, out on bond in 2009, the pair assaulted at least three other women until the feds finally arrested them last year and a jury convicted the two in December on 32 counts related to drugging and raping women. Miami New Times has the story.
