that
he once owned an Italian restaurant on La Cienega Boulevard. His first known offense took place in 1989 when he told Christine Kludjian that he was a music executive at [[wikipedia:Columbia Records|Columbia Records]] and that he could make her a star. Once he got into her hotel room, he tried to tie her to the bed with ropes he had hidden in the room beforehand and rape her, but she fought him off. He made a plea bargain and received three years' probation for false imprisonment by violence. In 1991, he met an aspiring actress named Elizabeth Buzzini (some sources name her as "Elizabeth Davis") at a bar. Posing as a Disney producer, he started talking about a Bond movie and sneaked some white powder into her drink. She noticed him and called the police, but he got away and no charges were filed. In 1995, he broke into the home of a woman he had once dated and held her against her will. Consequently, he made a plea bargain and received five years' probation for pleading guilty to burglary. In the late 1990s, he perfected his Bond movie producer ruse and used it to lure most of his victims.
