Silicon Valley:: A Los Angeles court on Saturday opened trial against Indian-born fashion designer Anand Jon, accused of sexually assaulting aspiring models. Deputy District Attorney Frances Young told a six-woman jury that the fashion designer allegedly exploited his position in the glamour industry to lure young aspiring models to his Beverly Hills condominium, where he humiliated them through "painful sexual acts". Jon, who has been in jail since his arrest in June 2007, is charged with 25 counts, ranging from rape to committing lewd acts on a child. If convicted, he faces possibility of 122 years of life imprisonment.
