Man accused of drugging, assaulting 7 women

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A Madison man is accused of drugging and assaulting seven women -- many who were co-workers.

Prosecutors in Dane County say 28-year-old Brian Stowe photographed or videotaped the victims while they were naked and unconscious. A criminal complaint says one woman said she felt ``disgusted, embarrassed and betrayed'' after detectives showed her images of herself.

Stowe is charged with 62 felonies. He's also accused of possessing nude photos of another unconscious woman he allegedly took on a trip out of state. Stowe was arrested at work in Verona on May 31. Six of the women were co-workers.

The State Journal says Stowe posted $500,000 bail following his arrest, but was taken into custody again Monday after charges were filed, posted another $27,000 and surrendered his British passport before he was again freed.
