Manhattan prosecutors have dropped almost their entire case against a notorious California fashion designer-turned-rapist, allowing him to plead guilty to just a single sex attack in what was once a 12-victim, 49-count indictment.
Under a plea taken in Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday, Anand Jon — whose designs have been worn by Paris Hilton, Oprah Winfrey and Janet Jackson — admitted only to forcing oral sex on one adult aspiring female model.
On April 2, Jon will be sentenced to the five years he has already served in California as part of a 54-years-to-life sentence, which covers his convictions on casting-couch sex assaults involving 16 women and girls.
He still faces charges in Texas, prosecutors said.
