The Jury Finds Anand Jon Guilty.

Posted on by

Today, in Los Angeles, Anand Jon was convicted of rape and sexual assault.

A Beverly Hills fashion designer was found guilty today of sexually assaulting seven girls and young women, capping a two-month trial that offered a sordid portrait of the fashion world.
The jury of six men and six women deliberated for seven days before finding Anand Jon Alexander guilty of one count of rape and 15 counts of sexual assault and other charges.
The designer, who goes by the professional name of Anand Jon, sat silently in court wearing a light gray suit and yellow tie as the court clerk announced the jury’s verdicts. Behind him, his sister sobbed as she sat with friends and family in the crowded downtown Los Angeles courtroom. [LAT]

Obviously, the culprit– how I love that especially brown word– saw things differently. A charming snippet of a screen shot from one of his official sites, which clearly explains how Jon sees himself is below:

Some of you may remember Jon from his memorable stint on the blink-tastic reality program America’s Next Not-Quite-Top Model, the show which elevates women (Eva Panni-ford, I’m looking at your unpleasant kundi) who are too short or too old to succeed in the industry to…mediocre heights. On ANnqTM, Anand was an utter douche to fellow Malayalee Julie Ann Titus during season three. But I digress.

Jon, 34, a rising designer who had dressed socialite Paris Hilton and singer Janet Jackson before his arrest last year, faces possible life imprisonment after a Los Angeles Superior Court jury found him guilty on 16 criminal counts.
The crimes involved lewd acts on a child, rape and sexual battery in assaults between 2001 and 2007 against nine would-be models aged between 14 and 21. He was also convicted of possessing child pornography. [Reuters]

Oh, and what pr0n it was. Said an…interesting …post which was sympathetic to the disgraced designer:

Porn troves found on his computers came from commercial sites. The fact that these sites had names like Gag on My Cock and Teens Tits & Ass doesn’t make them illegal kiddie porn Web sites or newsgroups. [LAweekly]

Hmmm. Why does the name of that latter site seem so jarring– OH RIGHT. Because he was convicted of preying on girls who were as young as 14.

Prosecutors said Jon lured girls and women to Los Angeles with the promise they could work as models and then attacked them.
“He humiliated, degraded and took what he wanted from them. He was a predator who took advantage of the weak people around him. He has no criminal sexual borders. If he didn’t use force, he laced their drinks,” prosecutor Frances Young told the jury. [Reuters]
Jon, whose full name is Anand Jon Alexander, denied the charges. His lawyers said the girls and young women were revenge seekers who had made up their stories or who had “invited what happened,” and that there was little physical evidence.[Reuters]

Classy. The old, “she was asking for it”-strategery.

Jon’s high-powered defense team sought to point up inconsistencies in the accounts of his accusers, portraying them as liars engaged in a shadowy plot to bring down the up-and-coming designer.
In their closing arguments, prosecutors conceded that some of the girls were far from “perfect victims” and described the Beverly Hills police investigation as “sloppy.” But they urged jurors to focus on similarities in the testimony of the many alleged victims.

Jon faces a 67-year wait before he is eligible for parole.

  1. AHAHAHAH. i opened up just opened up SM and i was gonna say he’s cute, but then i read the article. LOL. creeperr.

  2. I think it’s complete bullshit to say that he had an abnormally bad childhood for a Malayalee and therefore we should give him sympathy for the heinous crimes he committed. I dont’ think the 67 year parole is harsh because he obviously has a pattern for this type of abuse. I mean obviously for someone to find their source of empowerment from belittling young girls sexually has some misguided childhood/self-esteem issues. I find it offensive to state the fact that he is a product of Malayalee divorce, and therefore sympathy should be evoked for this “unique” circumstance. There are plenty of other products of Malayalee/South Indian divorce (Padma Lakshmi, Arundhati Roy, to name another famous two) that went on to become productive members of society that channeled that particular pain/experience into something positive.

    My concern for this individual is that jail time is not enough to rehabilitate him. Yes, it keeps him away from society and from harming anyone else, but he should be getting intense therapy. The fame game is a difficult one, bad childhood aside, the pressures of fame, money, and adulation are enough to create some bad vices. Just like alcoholics and drug addicts need rehab, sexual deviants need rehabilition and therapy as well as jail time.

    Oh, and what pr0n it was

    Oh, and Anna, I caught that sprinkle;)

  3. I’ve been following this case for a while. And while people like ‘Thomas’ wants to preach love and peace about Anand Jon, I could care less. Pedophilia is not only a sickness. It is a crime!!! I could care less about his desire to fit into this society as an Indian or his messed up childhood. I was reading someone’s post about his childhood and how his parents got divorced when he was young. This does not make someone a pedophile. LOL. It’s called arrogance and grandoise self image to begin with. “In America, there is a desire among indians to imitate and prove we fit into their society. Anand jon got caught doing it.” (thomas) Pedophilia is not how you fit into this country. If anyone has an inferiority complex living in this country, then they have the freedom to leave. I was born in India and raised in the U.S. I consider myself more Indian than American. I have felt discrimination but at the same time, I have felt acceptance. No one is forcing anyone to stay. So to sum it up, Anand Jon has been found guilty by a jury of his peers.I have no sympathy. But I do hope that he sees his mistake in his heart of hearts.

  4. this bristling weed jungle of comments where crimes like rape are mitigated by equating them to child marriage.

    Mitigated? In my opinion child marriage IS rape, and one that is sanctioned by cruel parents.

  6. I want to ask all the posters who made comments like – “he deserved to be punished, BUT”:

    Are those questions prompted because you are Indian and he happens to be one too? Are you ask asking this as a male, thinking that some underage teenager might con you into sleeping with her? Are you asking because you think Jury didn’t get proper facts? Are you asking because you think there wasn’t enough evidence? Or is it because you think that all the white women have ganged up on a brown guy (who didn’t probably give them the gigs they were expecting from him…) Or do you really believe that needs to be punished less because he is committing a tactful error, but not a physical act of aggression?

  8. other products of Malayalee/South Indian divorce (Padma Lakshmi, Arundhati Roy) that went on to become productive members of society that channeled that particular pain/experience into something positive.

  9. 57 · Bridget Gabriel on November 14, 2008 03:08 PM So basically wrt Anand Jon kind of folks – all that glitters is not gold.

    Meghan Mccain was one of the authors of that Newsweek piece on Anand Jon! Does that mean that the Mccains ‘pal around’ with sexual predators??

    I kid.. I kid..

    Seriously, though, the jury decided that Anand Jon is guilty.. may he rot in jail and good riddance.

  10. I would say that my doubt is over lack of physical evidence, however I am currently reading the 9 page Dallas Observer piece regarding Jon right now. The first story, the one about Emily, relates how after having breakfast with a charming and polite Jon, Emily’s parents felt comfortable enough to allow their teenage daughter to proceed alone with him to his hotel room for a “fitting” while they went out (shopping?) and returned a few hours later to pick her up. I sure hope that these parents are being called out for their unfitness and lack of parenting skills. There is NO WAY IN HELL that I would scurry off while my teenage daughter went for a “fitting” in some dude’s hotel room that I had just met that morning. No effin way.

    What were they thinking?

    Nevertheless, so far in my reading of the piece I’ve come to the conclusion that Jon is a predator that needed to have some legal action taken against him. Too bad legal action cannot be taken against parents for “neglect” in this case as well.

    Basically the bottomline is that these kind of people influence the world in either positive or negative ways.

  12. AJ had a prior. he was charged with statutory rape or lewd acts with a child (i forget) before and copped a plea. his probation stipulated he couldn’t be in the presence of a child w/o adult supervision. i guess he violated his probation, among other offenses, so this may have contributed to his lifer status. that or the fact that there were so many different counts and victims that when you stack them up it just added up to life.

  13. I dont think he really raped anyone. It was probably consensual sex. However, as a matter of integrity, you dont sleep around with people who work for you. Not cool at all. This is a case of the casting couch coming back to bite the caster. The punishment is a bit harsh though , IMHO.

  14. Well, if he was having sex with minors then it’s illegal. If he was kidnapping girls and taking them by force, then he should be in jail for the rest of his life. If he was spiking their drinks, again he should be punished.

    But what if he was just charming ( and even lying ) to get in the ladies’ pants and that after the act the ladies’ felt used and hated him? Will that qualify him as a predator too?

    Also, not making light of the case here, but what about the ladies who fantasize about being taken by force? Look on Craigslist.

  15. Also, not making light of the case here, but what about the ladies who fantasize about being taken by force? Look on Craigslist.

    Uh…because a rape fantasy demarcated by things like safe words and chosen partners and boundaries that are specified by the woman is in no imaginable way or form the same as sexual assault? Besides, I suspect that most of those Casual Encounters postings are put there by men.

  17. Just completed reading the whole 9 page Dallas Observer spread on Anand and if he did even half of what’s described there, 67 years ain’t even enough time.

    However I still say that parents need to exercise some good ol fashioned common sense when it comes to their teenage kids. There is no way I would allow my 17 year old daughter to fly alone to NYC to attend some “charity event” with a single man in his 20s who wants to promote her in the modeling world. You know what? Fly with your daughter and stay by her side every step she takes in that city. Have Anand set you both up in a nice hotel with full accomodations. If parental responsibility is too much for you to digest then just think of it as a nice “family vacation”.

    Honestly, I really think there ought to be classes and exams for people who plan on having kids. Ah but these kids were probably not planned and therein lies the problem. OK well that is what adoption is for. Yep, there ARE people out here who actually WANT to take care of kids.

  18. Not only do parents need to exercise a lot more prudence when it comes to their teenage children, but I strongly feel that young women need to be taught assertiveness training from a young age (‘specially if they’re going into industries known for exploiting young women, like fashion) and KNOW that they are entitled to be treated with respect, and that they shouldn’t ever have to be subjected to the kind of degradation Jon apparently mastered. It is so sad and appalling that Jon’s treatment of these girls as outlined in that Dallas Observer piece ever occurred. The fact that these were repeated incidents that obviously were neither provoked nor wanted is disgusting. I certainly don’t think they deserved what they got or that they had it coming, but wtf??? Forced oral copulation? Better believe I would have bitten down…

  19. I have been following this case for a long time. There have been a lot of inconsistencies with the prosecution’s case. I seriously doubt that Jon is guilty based on everything I have seen about the case. The girls were likely paid off to testify. No, that isn’t some crazy conspiracy theory, that happens all the time– the mentality of some prosecutors is that they must “win at all costs”, not to promote justice.

  20. Imagine how fabulous he is going to make the other inmates look.

    I bet he dies in prison and not from natural causes. I have been watching that prison show on MSNBC and it seem’s that rapist always end up dead and thats with the racial protection if your white, Latino, or black. Imagine what is going to happen to a skinny Indian fashion designing girl rapist?

  22. http://www.lamag.com/article.aspx?id=8580&page=1 gives a “more balanced” view. After reading it I’m asking the same questions. After being “raped” why did the girls return to live with him, some even paying him rent! And again, who are these parents that allow their teenage daughters to fly all over the country to be with this dude time and again? It does appear that he manipulated them psychologically but out and out rape? I don’t know. If that was the case then why would they return to him again and again? I agree that girls need to be given assertiveness training from an early age. I personally can’t imagine being “intimated” by a desi dude when I was 16 years old. I had a pretty solid self identity formed by that age, thanks to reading old school feminst books. Naw, no effeminate desi dude with long hair could’ve pulled his wool over my eyes. Not a chance.

    Something went wrong in the upbringing of these girls for them to not know what violation is, to not know when they’ve been violated and to keep going back for more. I hold the parents partly responsible.

    And by the way, the man is in jail now and has already served a year. I guess he’s already been raped there if he wasn’t in solitary confinement.

  23. I personally can’t imagine being “intimated” by a desi dude when I was 16 years old.

    Replace “intimated” with “intimidated”.

    And what’s creepy is Anand explaining in court in front of his malayalee mom how he likes oral and anal sex. Can you imagine talking about that in front of your mom and sister? Ewww.

  24. On the bright side for Jon, he won’t have to worry about the underage thing in prison. The dating pool there should all be of legal age.

    Not justifying his actions. But, he did have a pretty abnormal childhood for a malayalee. His parents divorced when he was very small, when divorce was virtually unheard of in Kerala. In his (pre?)teens his mother, with whom he lived, married and was later left by a (extremely rich, but later truned out to be an embezzler) man much younger than she was, who treated Anand with disdain. His mother’s only sister is married to the great singer, Yesudas, had a great life compared to his not so great life growing up. At some level, it is not so surprising he turned out so messed up.

    I knew Anand and his family really well too, and I am not surprised at how his life took this turn. If not, this would have happened at some point. You are right about his abnormal childhood. It was not just divorced parents, his mother was involved in a sex scandal almost 20 years ago, when her beauty salon was exposed to be an illegal massage parlor (the kind with happy endings). It is true that his mother later married an embezzler. While his mother was married to this man, Anand was constantly getting into trouble at his high school and was expelled for bad behavior, which further strained his relationship with his step dad.At the end, his mother scored again, when she cheated her second husband of all his money and wiped his bank accounts out clean. This man legally filed for bankruptcy following this divorce.

    Anand’s aunt and her husband Yesudas and his other relatives kept a deliberate distance from Shashikala (Anand’s mother) and her kids and openly disapproved of her promiscuity and sleazy ways of cheating people of their money.

    What goes around, comes around. Shashi cheated several young hapless women into sex slavery with her clients while she reaped the benefits. Her son did not go too far from these ways, except that finally someone is paying their dues.

  29. I wonder if Sudhir Venkatesh has researched potential Desi-friendly prison clicques for a future book?

  31. I doubt he’ll stay in for the full sentence. If he cooperates and behaves well, he’s likely to be granted parole.

  33. I think Anand should design a few ensembles with pin stripe pattern and put on a fashion show at the prison he is currently in….He can interview and do “fittings” with his models who I am sure will be more than willing.

  35. “He was a predator who took advantage of the weak people around him.”

    WTF kind of prosecutor is this?! Last time I checked, assault victims are not weak – assailants are.

    I’m certain that it doesn’t matter whether one is 14 or 40 – both are equally capable of fighting back when attacked.

  37. I’m certain that it doesn’t matter whether one is 14 or 40 – both are equally capable of fighting back when attacked.

    Or equally incapable. Seriously, do some reading on the mindset of rape victims/survivors who do not come forward or who wait to come forward. Girls are brought up to be ashamed of themselves, rather than angry at the perpetrators. I personally know girls who were forced/pressured into physical acts they did not want to do during their teen years — it is not always as bad as what these girls went through, but it happens ALL THE TIME. So many young women repress and move on. Do some reading on the experiences of women who DO come forward and you’ll understand why. Often going to the authorities means being disbelieved and dismissed, on top of being shamed. For example, last year in DC, a college student was denied treatment because she “appeared intoxicated” the night of her assault — even though she claimed to have been drugged. The girls in the Dallas Observer article, on the blog I mentioned, and in the comments left at these links, all talk about thinking no one would believe them, feeling stupid and ashamed, feeling alone, and thinking that the police or their parents would blame them.

    And guess what? That’s exactly what a lot of people are doing — blaming them for Jon’s behavior. Do I wish we raised all girls to be smart, strong, assertive, and courageous in their experiences with sexual assault? You bet. Do I wish we raised all BOYS to understand what sexual assault is and why women’s bodies should be respected rather than used as objects, AND had a police and justice system, not to mention medical care professionals, who made girls feel safe about coming forward with sexual assault experiences? HELL YES. Victim-blaming excuses all those other factors.

  38. After reading this long thread its fairly entertaining that no one has really mentioned the fashion industry as the culprit. This doesn’t excuse Anand’s action in any shape or form, but if you take a candid and realistic view of the fashion and modeling industry are you really surprised? Anand Jon is one of the few unlucky ones that got caught publicly. Alas he’s still an idiot and should, at the least, be castrated.

  39. I agree with Lizzy above and Jon should be tried for rape but doesn’t there have to be evidence for that?

    I’ve not read any article as of yet that puts forth any evidence of rape. Legally does a testimony stand up in court, as proof, without any physical evidence? From everything I’m reading he does come across as a very seedy, slimy and underhanded con-artist. But the very weird thing about this case is that the very same young women who are claiming he raped them, well, they continued to go back to him and even worked and paid him rent to stay in his place! And these women had families who were not pressuring them to do so and who were willing to welcome them back home. So that just seems very odd to me. And then of course the father who said, “I drove my daughter to the hotel where he raped her”. Question: why did you leave her at the hotel alone with him in the first place.

    I think these parents should be ASHAMED of themselves.

  40. While I don’t doubt that this guy is in the fault, I am mystified why the author of this post doesn’t think that some women do put themselves in the position of being sexually assaulted.

    I think, especially in the Desi community, feminists are the weirdest, most inconsistent type of psuedo intellect. Women want to have the sexual liberation of dressing how they want, and doing what they feel and they don’t choose to have a negative stigma attached to those actions, but rarely is the onus put on young women to learn what may put themselves in situations when they could be taken advantage of.

    Feminist or not, it is idiotic for people, like the author, to believe that “the old they were asking for it” as she put, excuse is not a fact of reality. You can be sexually liberating thats fine, but you also have to live in reality. You can float on bubbles and pretend the world is made of pixie dust, but eventually, the reality is that when women do act in manners that is indusive to sexual predators, the women themselves must be at fault in some manner.

    I am not talking specfically about this incident, but the author’s comment there left me baffeled. It’s that type of thinking and reduction of reality that leads to women believe they could do what they want, when they want, and we live in candyland where nothing bad ever happens.

    Well look at the Mark Foley scandal. It is probably not the kind of industry alone; may be more an effect of excessive sexual permissiveness in society and media ? Clash of liberalism/freedom versus discipline/order ?

  42. I think the parents of these minors are also at fault. There are always consequences. Its the parents’ prerogative to draw the line and clearly defining boundaries to their kids, for their kids. An adult woman in this situation would also reflect on her decisions when she chose to share private time with such a psychopath. I believe, for an adult woman there is always a way she can do more to avoid such situations. For the minors the blame rests squarely on the parents.

  43. women do act in manners that is indusive to sexual predators, the women themselves must be at fault in some manner

    And the sexual predators, Raja — are they at fault?

    Take this headline, for example: “More Rapes Linked to Young Women on Drinking Binges.” So women should not drink? In public? More than, what, 3 drinks? They should stay home and keep all the doors locked? As this blogpost points out, not once are the words ‘rapist’ or ‘men’ mentioned in the article.

    The article says: “San Diego police are investigating a rising number of rapes involving young women who go on drinking binges, becoming too intoxicated to fight back or say ‘no,’ it was reported Tuesday.”

    Jessica writes, “What’s so hard about instead writing, ‘San Diego police are investigating a rising number of rapes involving men who attack intoxicated women.’ It’s shorter, more accurate, and doesn’t blame women for being raped. It’s like magic!”

    The burden of responsibility rests on the rapist, not the woman.

  44. Yes Lizzie it does. But the women/victims have to live with the trauma for their entire lives. Is the drinking binge worth it? Or are you striving for a society with no rapes? Until we get to that society, I think it would be wise for a woman to be more responsible about her own protection. Freedom doesn’t mean ‘void of all responsibility’.

  45. I think there is no doubt the man is a sick pedophile and rapist. It’s too bad he was so twisted in terms of his tastes, because if he had liked adult women and wanted to have normal, nonabusive/nonhumiliating sex with them, he would have probably found enough takers. He deserves to be punished and I applaud that decision. However the girls and their parents are not entirely blameless. Yes, the FIRST time they got raped they were totally blameless…but not after multiple such incidents where they kept going back for more. In any case the parents should not have allowed their underage daughters this kind of unsupervised freedom PERIOD. Which, again, does not mean that he is not guilty for his crimes.

  46. For the minors the blame rests squarely on the parents

    .

    The burden of responsibility rests on the rapist, not the woman

    In so far as the crime goes the rapist is definitely to blame but from a sociological perspective to understand the conditions that lead to the criminal act one has to go beyond the crime and the perpetrator and dig deeper into many other facets of Anand, his childhood, the victims , parents, social moores etc. etc. This doesn’t in any way absolve or reduce the bestiality of the criminal.

  47. I agree that the burden of rape rests on the rapist, not on the victim, regardless of intoxication or anything else.

    However, if I know that after 4 drinks my ability to think straight, walk straight and fight straight is hampered, I’m going to stop at 3 drinks, my own personal limit, when out in public. At home I’ll drink til sunrise if I want to but not out in public amongst people that I don’t know. It’s called common sense. However, if I do get drunk in public and raped, damned straight I’ll take the guy to court til he gets time. And then after that I won’t get drunk in public anymore.

    As far as teenagers we all know how awkward, confused and impressionable we were back then. Either these parents forgot how that feels or they assumed their daughters were more mature than they were or they assumed a male stranger in the highly sexualized fashion industry was more innocent and pure than such males generally tend to be or they were just completely clueless airheads about everything, in which case I question their fitness to function as normal independent adults in this world altogether, what to speak of their ability to function as parents.

    I’m assuming that these parents, like mine, informed these girls at a much younger age about people who do bad things to kids and that whenever they were made to feel uncomfortable the first thing to do is to tell mama. Right? Most moms and dads do teach their children these things right? So then what went wrong where?

    Why did these girls feel that they could not tell their parents? What were they afraid of? Why weren’t these parents constantly questioning their daughters about what happened at shoots or about the peoples’ behaviour there or about how they felt? I mean come on, it’s the fashion industry. At least one person on the staff has to be a sleezeball, that’s a given, so then why no concern? Do these people not watch Lifetime Network? Or maybe they did question their daughters but the girls gave no info.

    I really hope that these parents were made to sit before the judge and answer these questions as well.

    As far as women taking responsibility for the way they dress. Um, no. Dress has nothing to do with it. Yeah if I were a lowcut blouse or short, tight skirt I do expect to get some looks and maybe one or two comments, but not assaulted. Even if I am naked and talking cutesy wutesy into a camera for Anand Jon in his bedroom (which by the way, one of the accusers was doing), I do not expect to be raped and the rape is still a crime. No means no.

    However the point is that for an underage girl to be naked in front of Ananda Jon in the first place is the fault of the parents. Some parents came with their daughters to Anand’s house or studio but they were not in the rooms when the “fittings” and “shootings” took place. Why not? Wouldn’t you want to be present for your child’s launch into the great international world of fashion? I mean look at Jon and how he carries himself. The dude oozes sleeze. There is no way I would allow my underage teenage daughter to be in a room alone with him for a split second.

    Am I alone in my sentiments here?

  48. I read the Dallas Observer piece and I’m sick to my stomach. However what is more sick is some of the posts above from people who seem to think the victims had power or that they could have fought back. I’m ill from reading this.

  49. the gist of his MO appears to be luring young/underage girls over the internet by promising modeling gigs, convince them and their parents that he’s legit; they leave home (for the first time, i guess) and stay with him in a strange city where they have nowhere else to go. then this happens (from LAmag):

    He invited Katie into his bedroom. It was as disheveled as the front rooms. There was a mattress on the floor, with blankets and pillows. His fashion sketches were pinned to the walls. He pulled out a video camera and asked her to tell her life story. Katie talked for a while, but before long, by her account, Jon asked her to take off her clothes. She was nervous. “If you’re going to be a fashion model in fashion runway shows,” he said, “they get naked backstage. You gotta be comfortable being naked.” He added, “Act sexy.” She stripped, and he got on top of her, pinning her down. “No,” she said. “Stop.” He didn’t answer. Katie testified that two things happened next, although she could not recall which came first. He put his penis into her mouth. “No,” she said, gagging. He entered her vagina and forced her to have sex. “Stop, get off,” she said. Afterward, Katie just lay there. She stayed the night, and the next day he did it again, and the third day again.

    Defense will highlight the last point, which will naturally befuddle those who haven’t been raped or are unfamiliar with psychology or feminism. problem is if the girls are underage consent is moot anyway, so he’s toast even if the jury believes the girls wanted to have sex.

    On top of that, prosecution will present an expert witness who’ll testify the behavior (staying with him) is normal for a rape victim.

    last but not least, prosecution has more than one victim, all recounting similar MOs. you’d have to believe all the girls are lying, which necessitates a conspiracy that the defense obviously was unable to substantiate. so, at this point, unless you have an “elvis is still alive” dude on the jusry, beyond a reasonable doubt has been met.

  50. JOAT, so you presume that there is absolutely no way this could have been prevented, at least for some of the victims? Parents dropping their underage girls off at a designer’s without any supervision is a dumbass move I think. That right there is what I mean when I say there are decisions that could have been taken , lines been drawn that would have helped prevent such a heinous crime against these minors. Once the kid is naked in the psychopath’s bedroom theres no ‘fighting back’. But the actions that lead to being naked in his bedroom can be controlled.
