Man Accused Of Drugging Boys At Sex Parties Sentenced

ORLANDO, Fla. -A 45-year-old Orlando man accused of luring young men to his house for sex parties, and then drugging them, was sentenced to 27 months in prison and supervised probation Wednesday, according to Local 6 News. Mark Randall was originally accused of injecting men with tainted blood but reached a plea agreement with federal attorneys earlier this year clearing him of any charges connected to sexual crimes. In February, agents raided a garage in Orlando and confiscated videotapes and bloody syringes that they believed were evidence of sex crimes committed by Randall. An investigation had determined that Randall was reportedly having sex parties in the garage of his home at 211 E. Kaley St. and possibly injecting the men with blood. The government took blood samples from Randall but the results were never released. Randall pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Randall's sentence is not expected to be lengthy because federal prosecutors say he has accepted responsibility for his crime, Local 6 News reported Wednesday.
