Max Factor heir must pay $20m over rape

CONVICTED rapist and Max Factor heir Andrew Luster has been ordered to pay more than $20m in damages to a woman he drugged and sexually assaulted three years ago.

The plaintiff, listed only as “Tonja Doe”, was one of three women who accused Luster of knocking them out with the date-rape drug GHB and sexually assaulting them at his beach house north west of Los Angeles. The woman lived with Luster for about four months in 2000, according to the civil suit.

California Superior Court Judge Barbara Lane yesterday ordered Luster to pay the woman a total of $20,529,774.
