The reward for taking Max Factor heir Andrew Luster off the streets for raping several women is for a federal judge to keep his $300,000 bond in place. Luster received a 124-year prison term for his crimes.
A Mexican court recently dropped charges against Chapman for capturing Luster on Mexican soil, citing statutes of limitations as the reason. In Mexico, bounty hunting is illegal.
"We're devastated," Chapman and his wife, Beth, said in a statement. "We love this country and are proud to be Americans, so this is absolutely devastating that we can now roam free in Mexico, but not in our own country."
For some reason the U.S. Office of International Affairs in Washington was in opposition to the bond being lifted.
As a result, the current tour by the family for their No. 1 bestseller on the New York Times (NYT) nonfiction category, "You Can Run, But You Can't Hide," has to report to the court as to their whereabouts.
A hearing is set for October 26 by the judge to decide whether to keep the bond in effect. Prosecutors allege they want more time to review the situation.
