An ex-cop turned porn producer says that Miramar and its cops went out of their way to wrongly arrest him on rape charges, so that man, Lavont Flanders Jr., wants the city to pay him for his troubles, according to a recent court filing.

Flanders, a former Miami Beach police officer and bus driver, was arrested in July 2007 on charges of raping at least two women.

At the time, police said Flanders lured aspiring models -- whom he met on ModelMayhem.com -- to a Miramar warehouse, pretending to be a photographer. Flanders is said to have promised the women commercial work. Instead, cops say, Flanders drugged these women, then videotaped them having sex with various men. Dozens of women have come forward with similar accounts.

Most of the charges have recently been dropped against Flanders. Now, however, he's bringing his own charges against Miramar: Flanders says that cops arrested him months after a victim said that the sex was actually consensual, a Broward County Civil Court filing claims.
