An international sex trafficker who liked to be called “Drac,” short for Dracula, must pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to a woman he prostituted, a federal appeals court ruled as it rejected defense arguments.

When Damion St. Patrick Baston wasn’t dressing up as a vampire, “complete with yellow contact lenses and gold-plated fangs,” he was beating, humiliating and forcing women into prostitution, according to a March 24 ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
