Indictment: NJ couple made "Superman" sex drug, sold it online
PHILADELPHIA — Grand jurors indicted a Jersey couple on charges of mixing a sex drug potent enough to give the Man of Steel an erection.
Brian Parker, 27, and Michelle Pfeiffer, 24, allegedly made their penis-boosting drug called "Superman" by using Viagra and Cialis and selling the concoction on the Web, prosecutors said Friday.
U.S. Attorney Zane David Memeger also said that the couple e-sold other pills they manufactured called “GHRP-6,” or “Growth Hormone Releasing Agent Protein” and “IGF,” or “Insulin Growth Factor.” Both of those protein-based drugs were popular for increasing strength and muscle mass.
The defendants allegedly advertised on websites and message boards, targeting an audience of primarily body builders and athletes, which would tout the benefits and dosing of different performance enhancing drugs.
Parker allegedly offered prescription erectile-enhancing drugs for sale without asking for a prescription from a licensed medical practitioner, Memeger said.
In addition, the indictment says Parker advertised brand-name prescription drugs such as Cialis and Viagra but delivered imitations of those drugs that he made in the basement of his home, said Patty Hartman, spokeswoman for Memeger.
Parker never got approval from the FDA to distribute the home-made junk and never registered his basement lab with the FDA, according to the indictment.
The accused allegedly accepted orders for the drugs through e-mail, using a pseudonym, and told buyers to write deceiving messages in the subject line to avoid detection.
Parker, of Brielle, and Pfeiffer, of Tom’s River, were charged with fraud and failure to register a manufacturing facility. They each face a maximum sentence of 42 years in prison and a fine of $3.75 million if convicted of all charges.
