John Getty Jr. was back in the news when he was sued by the same son who was kidnapped as a teenager -- John Getty III -- to pay for his medical expenses. After his ordeal, John Getty III was traumatized and addicted to the drugs that his kidnappers used to keep him subdued in captivity. He suffered a stroke at the age of 30 during a drug and alcohol binge and was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
