Remember Anand Jon? He's the extraordinarily creepy Indian clothing designer who met naive young girls on the Internet (young, as in 15), promised them a life of glitz and glamor via a career in modeling, but instead allegedly raped them. Now he's sitting in jail in Los Angeles, having long been abandoned by "friends" like Paris Hilton and Michelle Rodriguez, and facing 59 criminal counts of forcible rape, sexual exploitation, and sexual penetration by a foreign object from 20 different women.

In this month's Los Angeles magazine, Jon tells writer Sharon Waxman that he is "100 percent innocent," and that he can prove that "every single thing" in the eight volumes of grand jury testimony against him is "a lie." (In a letter he wrote her from jail, Jon says his predicament "feels like a Stephen King novel turned into a movie directed by M. Night Shymalan.") Waxman notes that the testimony against Jon is "damning" in some places, but also extremely weak in other instances. "Anand Jon does not appear to be a nice guy," she says. But "it is not quite clear to me that what Jon has done, in every case, was rape."

Clips of the testimony are available online; a sampling from 16-year-old Katie W. from Alabama is of the more "damning" variety:

Q: Did he stop?
A: No.... It's like he wasn't even there, he wasn't even listening or talking back. I was just there.... I don't remember which came first, but he forced himself in my mouth, and I was still saying 'No,' and gagging. I thought I was gonna throw up. It was disgusting. He is disgusting.
Q: And when you said he forced himself in your mouth, what part of his body, Katie?
A: His penis....
Q: Were you physically doing anything when this happened?
A: Trying to get up and pushing as hard as I could, but I'm not stronger than him....

(Jon's lawyer previously rebuffed such an accusation thusly: "My client is 5-foot-4 and 130 pounds. He's a thin Gandhi-type guy. He can't overpower anybody. Any girl would kick his butt. It's not even a close call. That's what's so silly about this.")

The trial is set to be the biggest rape case in California history. Is Jon a serial rapist, or just a garden-variety scumbag fond of using lines like, "You have a very comfortable neck, would you like to have sex with me?" We'll find out soon enough.
