Anand Jon -- More Rape Charges, Now in NY

61. What is really sad is that all these women where in a situation to be abused. If the young women where not made to feel as if only through sexual favors can they acheive success then these kind of things would not happen.

I am sure that with soo many accusures there has to be some truth to this but what is more likely is that some young women who where looking for a break where put in compromising positions

Did he take advantage? its likely, but if we as a society do not start teaching our young women to value themselves then how can we expect them to stand up to such men.

When you see all this sexuality in the media, men treat you as disposable and you are told the only way to get ahead is to be pretty then how can we then be surprised when the result is a broken, sad girl who has been taken advantage of and after time realizes that it really wasn't consentual, that she was put in a vulnarable state and then participated in somethign that she would not normally do.

They probably got drunk or did drugs and in that state submitted themselves to his will, and lets not forget that if this was the case that it is still rape. Especially if the person was underage.

Teach your girls to be strong confident women who do not feel that in order to get ahead they have to sleep their way there.

A woman who knows when to say NO!

63. Do you idiots who are defending him realize there is more than one girl under the age of 16 who is accusing him?

Yes, I agree, a 27-year-old who agrees to go to a person's house should have the cognative ability and the street smarts to realize they are going into a potentially 'bad' situation. That being said, the human brain is not fully developed until approximately age 20 and is not capable of making complex decisions like an adult can. (if you don't belive me, just go to an online cognitive scientific database, and you will find pleanty of good research that supports my claims.)

65. And by the way, if he is so rich, he should change the 1990s furniture in his Beverly Hills apartment, hire a maid to clean his FILTHY apartment (the whole place is covered in filth...like dirt, black carpets), update his circa 1985 bathroom, repaint the ENTIRE apartment, and burn the carpet that looks like it hasn't been cleaned since 1989!

68. I've known Anand for a long time and I've been distancing myself from him for several years now. It doesn't surprise me a bit as he treated everyone who wasn't "a somebody" more like a servant that included me, as well as his staff and models. I feel more sorry for the family who has probaly tied up most of their assets in to the Anand Jon name and could lose it all. The comments from people who have had contact with him are pretty accurate. Although I never saw any actual assaults there was always major drama behind the scenes going on. You would have thought that the arrest several years back would have been the wake up call, to clean his act and I just recently found out about that. What a shame!!!

69. EVERYONE who keeps saying "these girls just want money" umm NO that is not the case! this is humiliateing for them! coming forward saying they were raped by this freak! i feel bad for them.. and all you people have to say is they are lieing and just out for his money!? maybe that is the case in some with some of the girls but i highly dobut it... all these people he is a sick pedo who deserves to be locked up! Just because you have money doesnt mean you have the right to take advantage of children! Even if they were not forced too it is still considered rape people! (sorry i cant spell....)

70. Oh man, this guy is going to love prison. Once they find out what he is in for, he is gonna get gangraped every time in the shower. Can you say Karma?

71. Listen, these women aren't going after him for his money, because there won't be any to get. He ain't no mulit-billionaire, and he's going to jail for a long, long time, so he won't be earning anymore money...and legal fees will probably use what money he has...so trust me, no one is getting any money but his lawyer.

72. To "annonymous": who said the victims continued to hang around with him after they were raped? I love how people concluding these victims are just scammers out to get money just make stuff up to arrive at their conclusions.

P.S. - If you are going to call yourself anonymous - why don't you learn how to spell the word.

73. from "The Designer Who Liked Models" (article about Anand Jon):

"Friends warned him: Take it easy. Keep cool. Don't be alone with a woman you don't know. If he listened, it didn't seem to change his basic promiscuity. Part of the problem, friends explained, was financial. Mr. Jon could not afford high-fee supermodels and was always looking for young models to work free or in exchange for clothing. But they were inexperienced and perhaps naive. And, no matter their inexperience, friends and others said, he seemed to expect sex."


This guy is a fashion "designer" wannabe....he was never been taken seriously by the fashion industry...and he has no money!!!...which is why he hasn't paid his bail and is still in jail....no one is after his money...'CAUSE HE AIN'T GOT ANY!

74. Nice come back, Sanjana (or who ever spread the rumor that this guy has money). Clearly, he has NONE otherwise he wouldn't still be in jail. I doubt that these girls will get any money, even if they are proven right. What the hell is wrong with some of you people.. these girls just want justice, more than anything else!

And let me tell you, his NYC apartment (been there myself), had frikkin RATS crawling in the kitchen, his bathroom was disgusting and I don't mean this in a racist way - but this guy showers maybe once a WEEK. I have seen it with my own two eyes. The cleaner who came like once a month even walked away because it was so dirty. He has no money, he'd contact girls online on sites like MySpace and FaceTheJury to model (which mainly consisted out of going out with him) and they even had to pay to get there themselves usually. I called him out on his behaviour, only to have him ignore me or tell me straight up lies.

Seriously, I have seen and heard so many bad stories about this guy. I don't know if all of the girls are telling the truth, but what I do know for a FACT is that he LOVES underage girls, and lures them into sex. These girls only want justice, and I'm so proud of them for stepping up!

75. THANKYOU nel from the past
You are completely right, I was one of the girls he contacted and would harrass online. At the time I was young and nieve and responded to him and ended up meeting him. Lucky for me I was smart enough to bring a male friend to one of his "parties" . I drove from San antonio to houston to attend his "super bowl party."
What I found was everything you explained. He was only interested in finding as many girls possible to surround himself with and seduce. There was no party it was just him and his camera man filming us, all the girls, surrounding him. I never warmed up to him or fell for it. I just acted nice and friendly till I could leave the next day because I feared him. He would try to be friendly to me and hug me and say nice sweet seducing things into my ear.I saw the game he was playing with those girls. They were all desperate yes , but also young and unable to defend themselves. There was definite mental manipulation.
And there was no money, he was desperate for fame and he would use these girls to boost his self esteem.
He is a definite predator. I was one of the many girls he went after and he would make continuous sexual propositions online.
Many people do not realize that the age range of girls he was approaching are not really ready to defend themselves emotionally physically or mentally. At this age you can not understand you are being victimized and sexually exploited. The victim for many years will still view themselves at fault. It took me many years to realize that people like this are mentally ill,adult men, preying on the ignorance of young girls. .
