Last week, fashion designer Anand Jon was charged with six felonies by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office. He faces complaints regarding vulgar acts on a minor and rape of multiple victims he allegedly committed between October 2004 and March 5, 2007.
Jon, a 33-year old Indian-born fashion designer, has made numerous appearances on the reality show America's Next Top Model. Known for embracing modern technology in his designs, he has uniquely established himself as a much-admired designer to a number of celebrities and infamous icons like Paris Hilton, Princess Olivia de Burbon, Gloria Estefan, Alanis Morissette, Janet Jackson, Mary J Blige, Michelle Rodriguez, Tara Reid and The Al Saud Royal Family just to name a few.
His frequent participation on the show America's Next Top Model has added positive exposure to the well-established designer. However with the charges he is currently faced with, no amount of America's Next Top Model publicity can absolve him from the noise surrounding his accusations. If proven guilty, Jon could be convicted for life. His bail has been fixed at $1.3 million.
In addition, sexual charges are not the only buzzing news following fashion designer. Apparently, his eligibility to work in the United States is also in question. Even though his lawyer maintains that he came to the US with a professional work visa, people from Immigration have already included Jon in their watch list.
And despite the formal complaint against him, he remains firm with his denial, asserting his firm respect for women. In fact, his attorney explained that Jon is in a difficult position having been surrounded by numerous women who aspires to make it big in the industry. He also stresses the high probability of these women making "false allegations" against his client. His first court date is scheduled on April 4, 2007.
