High profile fashion designer charged with rape

A well known fashion desginer has been charged with rape, sexual battery and lewd acts on a minor.  He is being accused of assaulting two women and a 15-year-old girl.

The Indian-born Anand Jon said (through an attorney) today that the sex was consensual and suggested the women were lying because he did not make them famous.

"He's very distraught. He's never been in jail before," attorney Ronald Richards said.

Anand Jon has made cameo appearances on America's Next Top Model and was named by Newsweek as one of it's people to watch in 2007.

Well we won't be watching too much of him if he's behind bars!
