Last week, the fashion designer Anand Jon was charged with six felony by the office of Los Angeles County District Attorney. He faces allegations of vulgar acts 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 Top Model reality show following the United States. Known to adopt modern technology in their designs, it has been established as the only designer who so admired a number of famous celebrities and icons such as 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.
Their frequent participation in America's Next Top Model show has been added positive exposure for the designer well established. However, with the charges currently facing, no amount of advertising America's Next Top Model was acquitted of noise about his accusations. If proven guilty, Jon could be sentenced for life. His bail is set at $ 1.3 million.
In addition, the sex charges are not the only news buzz following fashion designer. Apparently, your eligibility to work in the United States is also in question. Though his lawyer argues that arrived in the U.S. with a professional work visa, the Immigration Service people have already included Jon in their watch list.
And despite the formal complaint against him, he is adamant in his refusal, saying his firm respect for women. In fact, his attorney explained that Jon is in a difficult position of being surrounded by many women who aspire to do something big in the industry.
It also highlights the high probability that these women make "false allegations" against his client. His first hearing is scheduled for April 4, 2007.
