Till March 3, 2007, life was wonderful for fashion designer Anand Jon. What happened the next day changed it forever. Jon's MySpace friend called Jessie B visited his Los Angeles home on March 4 and stayed the night.

On March 5, Jessie complained to the police that Jon had raped her and the next day he was arrested.
Jessie B's complaint brought about a flurry of other girls aged between 14 and 20 saying Jon had assaulted them too.

The saga finally ended when Jon was convicted of all the crimes in November and yesterday sentenced to a minimum of 59 years in jail.
Said the designer's sister Sanjana Jon, "This girl had visited my brother at his residence from the Northwest that night.
She was fine in the morning and even went for lunch with the wife of Jon's partner, Patrick F. Jon had removed Patrick from the board of directors of his company.
After lunch, she threatened my brother and later went on to complain of rape." Sanjana believes Patrick could have something to do with Jessie's complaint.
She added, "The medical reports of the rape are negative. It is clear that there was no forceful sex. Even the lie detector test came in favour of my brother.
A Indian brown boy has been a victim of racism."
Jessie's rape charge against Jon was his most serious offence. The other 15 charges included sexual molestation like attempting a kiss and performing lewd acts on a child.
