Designer Guilty of Sexual Assault

Fashion designer Anand Jon was convicted of multiple charges of sexual assault on young would-be models Thursday.

Jon, 34, who was featured on an episode of America’s Next Top Model and had dressed Paris Hilton and Janet Jackson before his arrest last year, was found guilty on sixteen criminal counts, including lewd acts on a child. The case was brought by nine aspiring models ranging in age from 14 to 21 who were assaulted between 2001 and 2007. Jon would lure women to Los Angeles with the promise they could work as models and then attack them.

What a perverted asshole.

Jon was acquitted of four other charges, and the jury could not reach a verdict on three of the counts.

Jon, whose full name is Anand Jon Alexander, denied the charges and his lawyers argued that the young women made up their stories.

Really, dude? Then why are you being investigated on similar charges in New York and Dallas?

Sentencing is scheduled for January 13th.
