Lurid headlines aside, it sounds like Reynolds got too arrogant and on the wrong side of somebody with some power, after complaints from the hotel, and possibly his aides and the women he hired. The immigration offense is that he overstayed his visa. The p*rn consists of photos and videos of him and the women.

According to his former aide identified as Sunny, Reynolds was in possession of pornographic material he shot on different occasions while in the company of a model (name supplied) and several girls in his hotel rooms.

"His travel documents were not up to date and he used to bring beautiful women at different times. He employed five of us including a personal assistant and a driver. "He currently has unpaid hotel bills of more than US$24 500 accrued at two local hotels," he said.

Another closely placed source said Reynolds shot more than 100 pornographic videos and a further 2 000 nude pictures while he was in the company of at least 10 women including famous models.

The p*rn sounds like it was for his own amusement -- who would buy pictures or videos of a 62 year old male having sex? As for the immigration offense,

Reynolds entered Zimbabwe via Plumtree Border Post on November 13, where he was given a 14 day visa. The visa was later renewed and expired again on December 10 and he has been in the country illegally all along.

Reynolds said he has been to Zimbabwe 17 times. As he was being arrested, Reynolds said "he was not expecting the treatment after bringing several investors in the country."
