Anand Jon, a celebrity fashion designer, was found guilty of rape and sexual assault on Thursday, November 13th.
Anand, who’s clothing has been worn by A-listers like Paris Hilton and Janet Jackson, committed the crimes between 2001 and 2007 against 9 models who’s ages ranged from as young as 14 to 21 years old between 2001 and 2007. Prosecutors claimed that Jon would lure the women to Los Angeles by promising them work as models and then attack them. Prosecutor Frances Young told the jury,
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.
In addition to the rape and sexual assault charges, Anand was convicted of possession of child pornography. Jon will be sentenced on January 13th and faces possible life in prison with a 67 year wait before he is eligible for parole.

Keifer Bonvillain is asking for $180 million in restitution in a lawsuit that he filed on Tuesday, October 21 against Oprah Winfrey, her lawyer and the FBI.
Bonvillain claims that Oprah gave ‘false statements’ that led to his arrest in December 2006. Allegedly, Bonvillain recorded telephone conversations of an employee of Oprah’s production company and then told an associate of the company that he planned to publish a book based on the recordings. He claimed that he had offers that ranged from $500,000 to $3 million from publishers.
Bonvillain was arrested for extortion after agreeing to accept $1.5 million to turn the recordings over to one of Oprah’s associates.
The charges against Bonvillain were dismissed in 2007, but Bonvillain was still required to complete 50 hours of community service, take a drug test and pay $3000 in restitution.
Bonvillain stated, “There was substantial damage done to my name and reputation on a world level. The extent of my damages is vast.”
Harpo Productions lawyer, Chip Babcock said, “And we know that this whole episode started when the plaintiff wiretapped a Harpo employee in California. We advised (Bonvillain) that we believe that wiretapping was illegal, and this case will give us an opportunity to determine whether we were right about that.”
$180 million….This guy must be crazy! I don’t think there is anyone out there who’s name and reputation is worth $180 million. What do you think?
Miss Teen Louisiana, Lindsey Evans, was arrested along with three friends for an alleged dine-and-dash. Lindsey and her friends dined at Posados Cafe in Bossier City, LA Saturday night and left without paying their $46 bill.
Lindsey was busted after she returned to the scene of the crime because she had left her purse. After being arrested the cops searched her belongings and found marijuana in her purse. She is being charged with theft and marijuana possession.
The Miss Louisiana Teen USA organization has not yet determined how they are going to handle this situation; however, I don’t think it really matters since her reign ends next month.
Do you think Lindsey will make it onto the list of America’s stupidest criminals? Who leaves without paying and forgets her purse? I guess she figured that she had a better chance of getting away with the crime if she tried to retrieve her belongings.
