Flynn had a reputation for his womanizing, consumption of alcohol and brawling. His freewheeling, hedonistic lifestyle caught up with him in November 1942 when two under-age girls, Betty Hansen and Peggy Satterlee, accused him of
statutory rape.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-17">

William F. Buckley, Jr.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-18">

ladies' man, which led to the popular phrase "in like Flynn", the phrase being later parodied in the
James Coburn comedy spy film
