• I'm Indian. What Anand Jon did was wrong. He is a rapist and a pedophile and needs to be punished. But to say all Indians are like this is incorrect. The laws in India need to be changed quickly. All those judges in India that listen to the likes of Sanjana Jon need to be disbarred. I am grateful to be living here where no one listens to her ranting about prostitutes. I hope she herself gets prosecuted for the distress she is causing the victims.

• RAPE LAWS IN INDIA Written By : Dhruv Desai - 4th year law- Symbiosis Society's law college, Pune Introduction: Sexual harassment and rape are two sides of the same coin. Both showcase the power of man to dominate that of women. Both have one victim- �women�. Both are barbaric in nature; but many people extenuate sexual harassment to rape, just because the victims are not physically harmed. Whereas in rape- the victim is ravished like an animal for the fulfillment of desire and lust of another man. Both have the same object- to undermine the integrity of the victim, physically as well as mentally. As observed by Justice Arjit Pasayat: " While a murderer destroys the physical frame of the victim, a rapist degrades and defiles the soul of a helpless female." Sexual harassment is nothing less than the showcasing of male dominance. Given an opportunity, such men (those committing sexual harassement) would try fulfilling their desire. However, it also not true that all cases of sexual harassement are such- where the accused is guilty of conceiving the intention of a sexual intercourse. But it also depends on each individual case and circumstances, because it may well be the case that the woman may also be at fault. The question is not whether women have the right to bodily integrity, as this right is already adumbrated under Article.21 of the Constitution of India. Article.21, which guarantees the right to life and liberty to men and women both alike- but whether it is really imperative to take a decisive step towards extirpating this evil and make the contemporary and future society a safe haven for women. According to the official statistics of 1991, one woman is molested every 26 minutes. These statistics refer to the reported cases. Whereas, if the unreported cases were to be included, it would be a matter of seconds- rather than minutes. investigation of Most cases are not reported by victims because of various reasons such as family pressures, the manner of the police, the unreasonably long and unjust process and application of law; and the resulting consequences thereof. In instances where women have reported such illegal and unwelcome behavior, there have been significant victories in the past decade or so. Also considering the fact the sometimes these victories are achieved after a wait of a decade or so. In Rupan Deol Bajaj Vs. K PS.Gill1, a senior IAS officer, Rupan Bajaj was slapped on the posterior by the then Chief of Police, Punjab- Mr. K P S.Gill at a dinner party in July 1988. Rupan Bajaj filed a suit against him, despite the public opinion that she was blowing it out of proportion, along with the attempts by all the senior officials of the state to suppress the matter. The Supreme Court in January, 1998 fined Mr.K P S.Gill Rs.2.5 lacs in lieu of three months Rigorous Imprisonment under Sections. 294 and 509 of the Indian Penal Code. In N Radhabai Vs. D. Ramchandran2, when Radhabai, Secretary to D Ramchandran, the then social minister for state protested against his abuse of girls in the welfare institutions, he attempted to molest her, which was followed by her dismissal. The Supreme Court in 1995 passed the judgment in her favour, with back pay and perks from the date of dismissal. Vishaka�s case:3 It was in 1997 in Vishaka Vs. State of Rajasthan and others, that for the first time sexual harassment had been explicitly- legally defined as an unwelcome sexual gesture or behaviour whether directly or indirectly as 1. Sexually coloured remarks 2. Physical contact and advances 3. Showing pornography 4. A demand or request for sexual favours 5. Any other unwelcome physical, verbal/non-verbal conduct being sexual in nature. It was in this landmark case that the sexual harassement was identified as a separate illegal behaviour.The critical factor in sexual harassement is the unwelcomeness of the behaviour. Thereby making the impact of such actions on the recipient more relevant rather than intent of the perpetrator- which is to be considered. In the abovementioned case, the judgment was delivered by J.S.Verma. CJ, on behalf of Sujata Manohar and B.N.Kirpal, JJ., on a writ petition filed by �Vihska�- a non Governmental organization working for gender equality by way of PIL seeking enforcement of fundamental rights of working women under Article.21 of the Constitution. The immediate cause for filing the petition was the alleged brutal gang rape of a social worker of Rajasthan. The Supreme Court in absence of any enacted law (which still remains absent- save the Supreme Court guidelines as stated hereunder) to provide for effective enforcement of basic human rights of gender equality and guarantee against sexual harassement, laid down the following guidelines: 1. All the employers in charge of work place whether in the public or the private sector, should take appropriate steps to prevent sexual harassement without prejudice to the generality of his obligation, he should take the following steps: a) Express prohibition of sexual harassment which includes physical contact and advances, a demand or request for sexual favours, sexually coloured remarks, showing pornographic or any other unwelcome physical, verbal/ non-verbal conduct of sexual nature should be noticed, published and circulated in appropriate ways. b) The rules and regulations of government and public sector bodies relating to conduct and discipline should include rules prohibiting sexual harassment and provide for appropriate penalties in such rules against the offender. c) As regards private employers, steps should be taken to include the aforesaid prohibitions in the Standing Orders under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946. d) Appropriate work conditions should be provided in respect of work leisure, health, hygiene- to further ensure that there is no hostile environment towards women and no woman should have reasonable grounds to believe that she is disadvantaged in connection with her employment. 2. Where such conduct amounts to specific offences under the Indian Penal Code or any other law the employer shall initiate appropriate action in accordance with the law, by making a complaint with the appropriate authority. 3. Victims of sexual harassment should have the option to seek transfer of the perpetrator or their own transfer. As stated by the Supreme Court, these guidelines are applicable to: a) The employer or other responsible persons or other institutions to prevent sexual harassment and to provide procedures for the resolution of complaints; b) Women who either draw a regular salary, receive an honorarium, or work in a voluntary capacity- in the government, private or organized sector come under the purview of these guidelines. Preventive Steps: 1. Express prohibition of sexual harassment should be notified and circulated. 2. Inclusion of prohibition of sexual harassment in the rules and regulations of government and public sector. 3. Inclusion of prohibition of sexual harassment in the standing orders under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 by the private employers. 4. Provision should be made for appropriate work conditions for women. Procedure pertaining to filing of complaints: 1. Employers must provide a Complaints Committee which is to be headed by a woman; of which half members should be women. 2. Complaints Committee should also include an NGO or other organization- which is familiar with sexual harassment. 3. Complaints procedure should be time bound. 4. Confidentiality of the complaints procedure has to be maintained. 5. Complainant or witnesses should not be victimized Or discriminated against- while dealing with complaints. 6. The Committee should make an annual report to the concerned Government department and also inform of the action (if any) taken so far by them. Miscellaneous Provisions: 1. Guidelines should be prominently notified to create awareness as regards the rights of the female employees. 2. The employers should assist the persons affected, in cases of sexual harassment by outsiders or third parties. 3. Sexual harassment should be discussed at worker�s meetings, employer-employee meetings and at other appropriate forums. 4. Both Central and State governments are required to adopt measures including legislations to insure that private employers also observe these guidelines. A K.CHOPRA�S case:4 A K.Chopra�s case, is the first case in which the Supreme Court applied the law laid down in Vishaka�s case5 and upheld the dismissal of a superior officer of the Delhi based Apparel Export Promotion Council who was found guilty of sexual harassment of a subordinate female employee at the place of work on the ground that it violated her fundamental right guaranteed by Article.21 of the Constitution. In both cases the Supreme Court observed, that " In cases involving Human Rights, the Courts must be alive to the International Conventions and Instruments as far as possible to give effect to the principles contained therein- such as the Convention on the Eradication of All forms of Discrimination Against Women, 1979 [CE DAW] and the Beijing Declaration directing all state parties to take appropriate measures to prevent such discrimination." The guidelines and judgments have identified sexual harassment as a question of power exerted by the perpetrator on the victim. Therefore sexual harassment in addition to being a violation of the right to safe working conditions, is also a violation of the right to bodily integrity of the woman. Provisions of the Indian Pena Code: In cases where the accused sexually harasses or insults the modesty of a woman by way of either- obscene acts or songs or- by means of words, gesture, or acts intended to insult the modesty of a woman, he shall be punished under Sections.294 and 509 respectively. Under Sec.294 the obscene act or song must cause annoyance. Though annoyance is an important ingredient of this offence, it being associated with the mental condition, has often to be inferred from proved facts. However, another important ingredient of this offence is that the obscene acts or songs must be committed or sung in or near any public place. Section.509 of IPC, comes into effect when there is an intention to insult the modesty of any woman by the offender by uttering any word, making any sound or gesture or by exhibiting any object, with the intention that such word or such sound be heard, or that such gesture or object be seen by such a woman, or by intruding upon the privacy of such a woman. Thus, this Section requires: 1. Intention to insult the modesty of a woman. 2. The insult be caused by i) Uttering any word or gesture, or ii) Exhibiting any object with the intention that such word, gesture, or object be hear or seen by such a woman, or iii) By intruding upon the privacy of such woman. Rape laws in India: "The law of rape is not just a few sentences. It is a whole book, which has clearly demarcated chapters and cannot be read selectively. We cannot read the preamble and suddenly reach the last chapter and claim to have understood and applied it." - Kiran Bedi., Joint Commissioner, Special Branch. In the Mathura rape case,6 wherein Mathura- a sixteen year old tribal girl was raped by two policemen in the compound of Desai Ganj Police station in Chandrapur district of Maharashtra. Her relatives, who had come to register a complaint, were patiently waiting outside even as the heinous act was being committed in the police station. When her relatives and the assembled crowd threatened to burn down the police chowky, the two guilty policemen, Ganpat and Tukaram, reluctantly agreed to file a panchnama. The case came for hearing on 1st June, 1974 in the sessions court. The judgment however turned out to be in favour of the accused. Mathura was accused of being a liar. It was stated that since she was �habituated to sexual intercourse� her consent was voluntary; under the circumstances only sexual intercourse could be proved and not rape. On appeal the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court set aside the judgment of the Sessions Court, and sentenced the accused namely Tukaram and Ganpat to one and five years of rigorous imprisonment respectively. The Court held that passive submission due to fear induced by serious threats could not be construed as consent or willing sexual intercourse. However, the Supreme Court again acquitted the accused policemen. The Supreme Court held that Mathura had raised no alarm; and also that there were no visible marks of injury on her person thereby negating the struggle by her. The Court in this case failed to comprehend that a helpless resignation in the face of inevitable compulsion or the passive giving in is no consent. However, the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1983 has made a statutory provision in the face of Section.114 (A) of the Evidence Act, which states that if the victim girl says that she did no consent to the sexual intercourse, the Court shall presume that she did not consent. In Mohd.Habib Vs State7, the Delhi High Court allowed a rapist to go scot-free merely because there were no marks of injury on his penis- which the High Court presumed was a indication of no resistance. The most important facts such as the age of the victim (being seven years) and that she had suffered a ruptured hymen and the bite marks on her body were not considered by the High Court. Even the eye- witnesses who witnessed this ghastly act, could not sway the High Court�s judgment. Another classic example of the judicial pronouncements in rape cases is the case of Bhanwari Devi, wherein a judge remarked that the victim could not have been raped since she was a dalit while the accused hailed from an upper caste- who would not stoop to sexual relations with a dalit. In another instance of conscience stirring cases, Sakina- a poor sixteen year old girl from Kerala, who was lured to Ernakulam with the promise of finding her a good job, where she was sold and forced into prostitution. There for eighteen long months she was held captive and raped by clients. Finally she was rescued by the police- acting on a complaint filed by her neighbour. With the help of her parents and an Advocate, Sakina filed a suit in the High Court- giving the names of the upper echelons of the bureaucracy and society of Kerala. The suit was squashed by the High Court, while observing that � it is improbable to believe that a man who desired sex on payment would go to a reluctant woman; and that the version of the victim was not so sacrosanct as to be taken for granted.� Whereas, in State of Punjab Vs. Gurmit Singh8, the Supreme Court has advised the lower judiciary, that even if the victim girl is shown to be habituated to sex, the Court should not describe her to be of loose character. The Supreme Court has in the case of State of Maharashtra Vs. Madhukar N. Mardikar9, held that "the unchastity of a woman does not make her open to any and every person to violate her person as and when he wishes. She is entitled to protect her person if there is an attempt to violate her person against her wish. She is equally entitled to the protection of law. Therefore merely because she is of easy virtue, her evidence cannot be thrown overboard." Also the Bandit Queen case10, which depicts the tragic story of a village girl. Phoolan Devi- who was exposed from an early age to the lust and brutality of some men. She was married to a man old enough to be her father. She was beaten and raped by him. She was later thrown out of the village- accused of luring boys of the upper caste. She was arrested by the police and subjected to indignation and humiliation. Was also kidnapped and raped by the leader of dacoits and later by the leader of a gang of Thakurs- who striped her naked and paraded her in front of the entire village. This is truly one story that shows the apathy of the existing society. In Chairman, Railway Board Vs. Chandrima Das11, a practicing Advocate of the Calcutta High Court filed a petition under Article.226 of the Constitution of India against the various railway authorities of the eastern railway claiming compensation for the victim (Smt. Hanufa Khatoon)- a Bangladesh national- who was raped at the Howrah Station, by the railway security men. The High Court awarded Rs.10 lacs as compensation. An appeal was preferred and it was contended by the state that: a) The railway was not liable to pay the compensation to the victim for she was a foreigner. b) That the remedy for compensation lies in the domain of private law and not public law. i.e. that the victim should have approached the Civil Court for seeking damages; and should have not come to the High Court under Article.226. Considering the above said contentions, the Supreme Court observed: "Where public functionaries are involved and the matter relates to the violation of fundamental rights or the enforcement of public duties, the remedy would be avoidable under public law. It was more so, when it was not a mere violation of any ordinary right, but the violation of fundamental rights was involved- as the petitioner was a victim of rape, which a violation of fundamental right of every person guaranteed under Article.21 of the Constitution." The Supreme Court also held that the relief can be granted to the victim for two reasons- firstly, on the ground of domestic jurisprudence based on the Constitutional provisions; and secondly, on the ground of Human Rights Jurisprudence based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 which has international recognition as the �Moral Code of Conduct�- adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nation. After having studied the case laws, it is necessary to also study the definition of Rape as given in the Indian Penal Code, 1860. As per Section.375 of IPC a man is said to commit the offence of rape with a woman under the following six circumstances: 1. Sexual intercourse against the victims will, 2. Without the victims consent, 3. With her consent, when her consent has been obtained by putting her or any person that she may be interested in fear of death or hurt, 4. With her consent, when the man knows that he is not her husband, 5. With her consent, when at the time of giving such consent she was intoxicated, or is suffering from unsoundness of mind and does not understand the nature and consequences of that to which she gives consent, 6. With or without her consent when she is under sixteen years of age. Further explanation provided to the section states that penetration is sufficient to constitute the sexual intercourse necessary to constitute the offence of rape, whereas the exception leaves out marital rape altogether if the wife is not under fifteen years of age. Marital Exception: In R Vs. R12, the House of Lords widened the scope of criminal liability by declaring that the husband could be charged as a principal offender in the rape of his wife. This decision seems to have obliterated the protection of the husband from such prosecution under the doctrine of marital exemption. This exemption was based upon the belief under which the wife was regarded as the husbands� chattel. She was supposed to have given a general consent to her husband as a natural implication of the marriage. This has now become an outdated view of marriage in England. However, the above decision of the House of Lords has not been followed in India- where marital exemption to the husband �still exists�. Section. 375 therefore requires: a) Sexual intercourse by a man with a woman; b) The sexual intercourse must be under any of the six circumstances given in the section. Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1983: The Criminal Law Amendment Act has substantially changed Sections.375 and 376 of the IPC. Several new sections have been introduced therein- viz. Sections. 376(A), 376(B), 376(C), 376(D) of the IPC. Section. 376(A) punishes sexual intercourse with wife without her consent by a judicially separated husband. Section. 376(B) punishes for sexual intercourse by a public servant with a woman in custody. Section. 376(C) punishes sexual intercourse by superintendent of jail, remand house, etc. whereas, Section. 376(D) punishes sexual intercourse by any member of the management or staff of a hospital with any woman in that hospital. These new sections have been introduced with a view to stop sexual abuse of women in custody, care and control by various persons- which though not amounting to rape were nevertheless considered highly reprehensible. Attempt to Rape: In cases where an indecent assault is made upon the person of a woman, but where rape is not committed- the culprit is charged with Section.354 of IPC, because unless the Court is satisfied that there was determination in the accused to gratify his passion at any cost, and inspite of all resistance, such person is not charged with rape. Section.354 of the IPC prescribes punishment for anyone who assaults or uses criminal force to any woman with an intent to outrage her modesty. An indecent assault upon a woman is punishable under this section. Rape is punished under Section.376; but the offence under this Section is of less gravity than rape. And also because a person who is guilty of attempting rape cannot be allowed to escape with the lesser penalty of this section. An indecent assault, i.e., an assault which right minded persons would consider as indecent- accordingly any evidence explaining the defendants conduct, or whether any admission by him or otherwise is admissible to establish whether he intended to commit an indecent assault, as is stated under Section.21 sub clause (2) of the Evidence Act, which reads: Section.21 (2): An admission may be proved by or on behalf of the person making it, when it consists of statements of the existence of any state of mind or body, relevant or in issue, made at or about the time when such state of mind or body existed, and is accompanied by conduct rendering its falsehood improbable. Impediments to Justice: In the present circumstances when offences against women are on the rise- when young girls are raped by their doctors, by presidential guards in broad daylight, the definition of rape to be of any deterrence- falls extremely inadequate. It does not address forced penetration of objects and parts of the body into the vagina and anus; and forced oral or anal intercourse. It also does not recognize other forms of sexual assaults- like protracted sexual assault by relatives, marital rape etc. as aggravated forms of rape. This causes grave injustice to many victims. In many cases of child rape, the child has been penetrated through fingers or by objects or been force to perform oral or anal sex; yet this is not considered rape by the Courts. Adding to this is Section. 155(4) of the Evidence Act, which allows the victim to be questioned of her past sexual history- which the defense uses to humiliate the victim in the Courtroom. One of the major obstacles in delivering justice in rape cases is the poor quality of investigations. The reason behind this ranges from gender bias and corruption to the general inefficiency of the police. In many cases the police have even refused to lodge the FIR or have lodged incomplete FIR. The victims are not taken for prompt medical examination, because in cases of rape, or attempt to rape- medical examination of the victim and of the accused soon after the incident often yields a wealth of corroborative evidence. Therefore, such an opportunity should not be lost by the police. The manner in which some courts have interpreted the law or assessed the evidence has often proved to be an obstacle also. Inspite of Supreme Court judgments to the contrary, lower court judges often insist on evidence of physical resistance or marks of injuries to hold that a woman has not consented. A woman�s evidence without corroboration is not considered sufficient. The long time that is taken to complete a rape trial often by allowing senseless adjournments; and the giving of evidence by the victim in the presence of the accused and the harsh cross examination in the Court are some other major obstacles. As observed by Krishna Iyer, J. in Rafique�s case13: "When a woman is ravished, what is inflicted is not mere physical injury but the deep sense of some deathless shame� judicial response to Human Rights cannot be blunted by legal bigotry." Therefore rape laws in order to be of great deterrence, must have a cooperative victim, professional investigation, diligent prosecution; and an expeditious trial. For otherwise it shall not be the law, that fails, but the applicants, the process and application. Failure of law reflects the failure of the society to protect and serve humanity. In view of the above, the Supreme Court has laid down the following guidelines for the trial of rape cases14: 1.The complaints of sexual assault cases should be provided with legal representation. Such a person should be well acquainted. The Advocates role should not merely be of explaining to the victim the nature of the proceedings, to prepare for the case and assist her, but to provide her with guidance as to how she might obtain help of a different nature from other agencies- for e.g. psychiatric consultation or medical assistance. 2. Legal assistance should be provided at the police Station, since the victim may be in a distressed state. Guidance and support of a lawyer at this stage would be of great help. 3. The police should be under a duty to inform the victim of her right to a counsel before being interrogated. 4. A list of lawyers willing to act in these cases should be kept at the police station. 5. Advocates shall be appointed by the Court on an application by the police at the earliest, but in order that the victim is not questioned without one, the Advocate shall be authorized to act at the police Station before leave of the Court is sought or obtained. 6. In all rape trials, anonymity of the victim must be maintained 7. It is necessary to setup Criminal Injuries Compensation Board with regard to the Directive Principles contained under Article. 38(1) of the Constitution of India. As some victims also incur Substantial losses. 8. Compensation for the victims shall be awarded by the Court on the conviction of the offender and by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board- whether or not a conviction has taken place. The Board will take into account pain, suffering, shock as well as loss of earnings due to pregnancy and child birth if this accrued as a result of rape. The National Commission for Women be asked to frame schemes for compensation and rehabilitation to ensure justice to the victims of such crimes. As observed by Justice Saghir Ahmad, "Unfortunately a woman in our country belongs to a class or group of society who are in an disadvantaged position on account of several social barriers and impediments and have therefore, been victims of tyranny at the hands of men with whom they, unfortunately, under the Constitution enjoy equal status." Conclusion: The courts and the legislature have to make many changes if the laws of rape are to be any deterrence. The sentence of punishment, which normally ranges from one to ten years, where on an average most convicts get away with three to four years of rigorous imprisonment with a very small fine; and in some cases, where the accused is resourceful or influential- may even expiate by paying huge amounts of money and get exculpated. The courts have to comprehend the fact that these conscienceless criminals- who sometimes even beat and torture their victims- who even include small children, are not going to be deterred or ennobled by such a small time of imprisonment. Therefore, in the best interest of justice and the society, these criminals should be sentenced to life imprisonment. However, if they truly have realized their mistake and wish to return to society, the Court and jail authorities may leave such men on parole; but only after they have served a minimum of half the sentence imposed on them. It is outright clear that sexual offences are to be excoriated, but if death sentence is given to such convicts- so as to deter the rest, then no doubt that the graph of rape cases will come down considerably- but it may also happen that those who commit such offences- simply to leave no witnesses or evidence, may even kill their victims and dispose off their bodies (whereas it is observed that in most cases- it is the victim who is the only source of evidence in most cases), thereby frustrating the main object of the Indian Penal Code and the legislature. Studying the laws, the process, the application of those laws, one thing is certain- the entire structure of justice needs an over haul, otherwise the victim shall no longer the woman, but humanity. ****************** The bastard should pay the price for his own sins and the sins of the millions of Indian men who rape and get away with it.

• I also have been appalled by the abuse meted out by the Jons. I am just a casual observer, but I have to say her/their actions have made me feel so mad. Terrible that victims of sexual assault can be treated this way. I really hope the law shows others that America will not tolerate this behavior.

• I understand.(I will figure out how to find it on Blogger...but thank you:-) I sincerely hope the mere fact Sanjana hired Harlan Braun means she is in serious hot water and has a LOT of explaining to do! eg...jury tampering is a 1st degree felony in all 50 states and is punishable of up to 20 years incarceration. The cruel vindictive persecution she has tortured the "current" victims (regards to only the ones of this case) is deserved of at least "some" of those possible 20 years. I am glad you forwarded the information to the Prosecutors, also to Steven Mikulan...THE PEOPLE SUPPORT THE VICTIMS! Very LOUD and very CLEAR!

• if him and his sister hated these girls so much, why did they keep them around? why? its obvious he was using THEM not the other way around. he was the one victimizing them he is not a victim! its good to see that good people do see through his slimeball tactics now. he was convincing but he is behind bars because HE IS A DANGEROUS MAN!

• No can do. But I did send the details to the prosecutors and Steve Mikulan. And just to counter all of the defamation of these people, they are all very pretty girls and my heart really breaks for them that Anand Jon and his sister used and abused them and continue to do so. Another thing that really galls me is that Anand Jon and his sister, on top of everything else, expected these women to slave for them for free and, dare I say, even scammed money out of them? Just from my research on the internet, it is exceedingly clear that both Anand Jon and his sister are abusers, liars, fraudsters, grifters and dangerous criminals. And I have little doubt that I don't know the half of it. Like so many other observers, I await the day that justice is finally done in this case.

• Thank you Mary! How do I find those websites on Blogger? I tried but could not. Not familiar with Blogger at all. How do I locate them? ~another victim who'd like to know

• In addition to the flyer "Prostitutes for the Prosecution," the screed "Is Brown the New Black?", the artwork "America's Next Top Whore," the jury tampering, and the witness intimidation that Anand Jon has been formally charged with in New York, in July of 2008, someone (cough, Sanjana Jon, cough) set up at least 3 websites against witnesses, Jessie N., Lori B., and Holly G. on Blogger. I hope Sanjana Jon is questioned about those websites in the next hearing so that we can hear who she blames it on. I would also note that whoever this was (cough, Sanjana Jon, cough) used the full names and photos of these witnesses long before Holly G.made any mistakes on the stand by using her full name. Sanjana Jon appears to be a one-woman wrecking ball-determined at any cost to obstruct justice, intimidate witnesses and tamper with the jury. If she is not punished for these crimes, why should we not expect her to continue on this lawless vendetta against these witnesses? I think it is a sign of the seriousness of her actions that she had to hire Harlan Braun, one of the best criminal lawyers in the country, to protect her from the consequences of her crimes.

• The two comments above are beautiful. Thank you Mary, and thank you kind Indian American person. ~God Bless

• The people are behind you. It's only been one person doing most of the AJ support. She is so transparent but thinks she can fool us into thinking lots of people are writing. Same language, punctuation errors -very dumb. I'm Indian - I know there is no racism. I also understand her logic somewhat. But I am telling you - we as Indians in America support you.

• I feel awful for all of you women who had to cross this man's path. Please don't blame yourselves. The man was a dangerous criminal and a sociopath, as has been explained so eloquently in these blogs. He is really no different than any other notorious criminal madman such as Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer or Bernie Madoff. Honestly, there but for the grace of God, go we all. It's not your fault! It's his! That is why he will be staying in jail for life and you will be free. The people of this country are with you all the way and have been with you ever since we heard about this man's reign of terror.

• It helps knowing, that you are not alone. I told myself many times how "stupid" I was too. That's not the case. We were dealing with a true sociopath. It's an experience most will never have. I posted this before,...and this time I post it just for you... "I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet." ~Mahatma Gandhi God Bless as you walk forward.

• i felt so bad too that he took advantage of me and i was stupid enough to let him. i dont know how he did it it was like he had some sort of magical spell he cast on everyone. i was angry about how much he actually hurt my life but now that i look back in retrospect, i have grown stronger from it and in turn i will be much more cautious in the future, as hopefully others who find themselves wrapped up in sociopathic behavior. he is the one sitting in a cell and we are the ones who have our freedom. stay strong everyone

• Don't beat yourself up. He is a sociopath. (There was a point I had invited him into my life also..many many years ago) The important thing to understand is "how" you got sucked in. Then you will begin moving forward. You see, his disease is all about making the person "willing" to stay. Whether its a friendship, relationship, it does not matter. Look at it like this, Ted Bundy murdered his victims, because they were "willing" in the beginning. Anand is a rapist, but he is young, and the number of victims growing by the year. He presents himself as the most fascinating, and intellectually stimulating Yogi and Kaballa Master us "Westerners" will ever meet. He reels us in through fascinating discussion, while "teaching" us this craft he has mastered. The thing is, it is in the exact same way in which he rapes his victims. Some can be "willing" in the beginning,...but his physical strength overpowers them. Maybe they "willingly" got into bed, thinking it was someone who "cares" for them...but they did not sign up to be held down with force and sodomized...or other things. Afterward it is as if nothing at all happened. He may even kiss your forhead, wipe your tears, and thank you while making plans on when he can see you again...even be so bold as to walk you out...or introduce you to his mother who just walked in and is in the next room. You get home, and are absolutely baffled at what just happened. You question yourself, am I crazy? But the horrible physical pain tells you something went very wrong...you replay the whole situation in your mind,...hmmmm...when I wanted him off me and began to scream, he covered my nose and mouth with such force I was afraid I'd pass out. So you stop fighting, because you want to breathe...he is a very sick man. The family screams..."well why didn't more women go to the police?"... or "why did they come back?"...because he calls. Tells you sweet things. Shows up with flowers. Is baffled when you bring up that you didn't like what happened. Is very kind for several months...then it happens again. Now you have been around. You know everyone....and you begin making your exit from his life...just as well...because there is another wide-eyed pretty face in the wings. That went on with me for years. Its been very healing watching the blogs, even the hate....I now understand it was not just me...I've moved forward. He is where he deserves to be. From the position of which I stand, I would be very happy to see his sister arrested for just being a malicious and cruel BITCH to the victims! Honestly, dear friend,..I begged her to stop...I wanted her to save herself. My empathy has depleted for her, for his family. His mother has known for many years. She was on the telephone to my own mother, many years ago...this argument they have,...was structured well over a decade ago...they have been covering for him for a very long time. At this point,...if they can't shut their mouths and let justice be served,..I say lock them up too! God Bless. I predict a lot of ugly blogging to follow this. I predict the sister, and other supporters to completely discredit what I have just said. That is fine with me. This was for the "Former Supporter" who struggles within,..it has nothing to do with the family.

• It just goes to show... "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. ..."

• After viewing the shocking "flyer", the malicious/disturbing "artwork" and hearing about the 2003 guilty plea, I will not believe in Anand Jon's convincing story of innocence any longer. When you are friends with a person, you want to believe that you are a good judge of character. It's easy to stay in denial. It is embarrassing that I couldn't detect an evil person and invited him into my life. It hurts me so much that someone who I thought so highly of has harmed so many women. I am so disappointed and ashamed of my choice in becoming friends with him that I am at a complete loss for words.

• i wonder where all his supporters went? i wonder what anand jon is thinking sitting in jail...life is so surreal sometimes...but the moral of the story is, respect others and also, if you break the law, you will get caught

• YES!!! I am so glad to read a discussion on this forum that makes real and logical sense! I have been ill with the months and months of absolute HATE and PERSECUTION these young victims have endured. I think some time behind bars is EXACTLY what Sanjana Jon deserves! I can tell through the posts, the victims who came forward, wouldn't care to ever see a dime from her! So long as she gets to think about it all in prison!...I have been ILL of the gull in her!...and she is still walking around? Luck ran out baby! Whatever it takes, put her butt behind bars too! Fraudulent greencard? Score! IP addresses from 2 years of hate blogging? Score!...Ugly rantings about the USA... Distribution of Child Pornography? GET HER! Enough is enough! We don't have to tolerate this backwards thinking. We do not have to allow our women to be raped, and then persecuted by the same family. She lied on the stand! She confessed to jury tampering. (Yes Sweetie, its still jury tampering even if he gave you his number!...You called him before anyone was made aware...BIG NO-NO IN USA!!!) We don't want to pay for your convicted serial rapist, sodomist, pedophile brother to have another trial!...In fact,..at this point we are sick of YOUR MOUTH TOO! ARREST SANJANA!...

• The thing about suing Sanjana Jon is that I doubt if she has any money and a personal injury lawyer would not want to take the case if there is no money there. Does she even have a house? But really, this woman is a scourge on our society with her fraud and her crimes. Someone should look into getting her deported. She is not a citizen is she? It looks to me like she might have engaged in a green card marriage and that looks like it might be fraudulent since the first time she even admitted she was married was on the stand the other day, right? Isn't that the very definition of green card marriage fraud, that you keep it a secret? And if she could be convicted for distribution of child pornography or, hopefully, tampering with a jury, aren't those both felonies? Her green card could be revoked for either of those reasons: (1) fraud in the procurement of the green card; or (2) conviction of a felony. What victim should have to have to deal with this woman chasing them around for years and trying to ruin their reputation on top of what her brother already did to them? Why should the US allow someone to stay in this country who engages in such outrageous and continuous criminal behavior? She is, in her own way, a terrorist. Report her to ICE and let them look into whether she gained her green card fraudulently. And appeal to the detectives and/or prosecutors to prosecute this woman for a felony so that she can be deported. Let her go be a freaking scourge back in India. Why does the US need this kind of person here who continually causes such pain and suffering on top of her brother being the mass rapist that he was? I would think that the government, at all levels, would not disagree with me.

• I think it's time for Sanjana Jon to be prosecuted. This is taking rape prosecution back and cannot go unpunished.

• I remember someone forwarded me the flyer in an email. Sanjana had email blasted people with this flyer, i immediantly thought, what gall this woman has! i could not believe she done that, its complete revictimization. they are an appalling duo, her and her brother. i made sure it was sent to detectives as well. as far as suing goes,im not sure really....believe me

• What a WOMAN! BRAVO!!!!! Thank you for e-mailing that flyer to the Prosecution!!! We the People are getting very sick and tired of the Jon family, their undeniable persecution of the victims, their lies, their insults, ALL OF IT! I agree with you Mary! If they want a re-trial, how about conviction of EVERYONE involved in stopping his sentencing! I feel for juror #12, but he too is in the wrong. I say try them each individually, look at the evidence against them, and decide proper punishment from there....as for Sanjana, well, you are right. She most definitely nailed herself! She can think about throwing away her freedom as a human being while behind bars. So tired of this case! Sentence him already!!!

• I saw the flyer on Sanjana Jon's MySpace page in her pictures section. I did not post the link here. Instead, I emailed the link to Steve Mikulan and the prosecutors. I saved the image but would not post it for two reasons: (1) to spare the victims; and (2) I believe that posting the image might constitute distribution of child pornography. I am a little confused as to what Steve Mikulan means when he says that LA Weekly was unable to authenticate the image. It was there on Sanjana Jon's MySpace page, Mikulan obviously saw it, he published the link and then it was taken down as soon as he published the link. Maybe Mikulan means that he can't be sure Sanjana Jon's MySpace page really belongs to her or that she is the one who posted the image. I don't use MySpace or Facebook myself so I am not terribly familiar with their rules. I would assume that one would have to have posting privileges on a MySpace account to post pictures or change the information on the account. I would also assume that only Sanjana Jon or her agent would have the posting privileges to post that flyer and to then take it down. Law enforcement should be able to trace Sanjana Jon's posting of the flyer. Sanjana Jon's MySpace account is obviously hers and not some setup not connected with her as it has pictures of Anand Jon back to when he was a baby. The flyer was the last in a series of over 100 pictures that could only have come from Sanjana Jon. This flyer business is an eerie parallel to Anand Jon's piece of art entitled "America's Next Top Whore," which was also taken down as soon as Mikulan published it. The fact that Sanjana Jon posted the flyer online is a crime and she can be sued by those girls as well. It also shows her evil intent. The two of them-Anand Jon with the drawing and Sanjana Jon with the flyer-are just evil criminals. As far as I am concerned, Sanjana Jon nailed herself for that flyer just as Anand Jon nailed himself for the art. This tells me that karma will see this man's conviction upheld and that Sanjana Jon will also get what is coming to her.

• It was on Anand Jon's personal my-space website in the photo section. (along with another which I don't remember) It's a shame L.A. Daily couldn't authenticate it. But you guys did a great job authenticating the "art" he drew in confinement. Thanks for that story!

• The link that allegedly led to an image of the online flyer has apparently been taken down. (Note: L.A. Daily was never able to authenticate it.)

• I didn't get a chance to see this flyer. Any clues on where to it might be still?

• I look at pictures of Anand Jon and I shake my head sadly. How can he not realize what a fool he's been? Such a lovely looking young man with resources at his disposal, a life that many in this world would be envious of. But he threw it all away for his sick desires. What a shame.

• sanjana is a cliche and a bag of chips....its so evident and apparent

• Amen Mary!

• How dare Sanjana Jon come on here and lecture Steven Mikulan that the shocking and defamatory flyer "Prostitutes for the Prosecution" published on her MySpace page was old news and that he should move on? She only took it down the day that Steven Mikulan published it. The way I see it, the flyer might have been old news and she might have been able to get away with blaming it on Lauren Boyette if she had not published it to her MySpace page for Steven Mikulan and the prosecutors to find! Did Sanjana Jon commit perjury when she testified that she had nothing to do with that flyer? If she lied about the flyer, is she lying about the juror too? Why does everyone who has anything to do with Sanjana Jon end up taking the Fifth Amendment? Her husband, Lauren Boyette, the juror? Is it because they face the ungodly choices of either perjuring themselves on the stand or going to go to jail for crimes they have committed for her and her brother? It really is about time to take a serious look at whether Sanjana Jon should be prosecuted for her ongoing crimes, most likely including distribution of child pornography, witness intimidation, attempted jury tampering and perjury. It's a long list.

• Well said! I am so proud of you ladies taking the higher road! We are the people!...and we ARE choosing to walk forward. Good luck "Gloria."

• SIGH!!!! is right. Just drop your hatred and arrogance... you are almost there in your pain. Admit that wrong was done. It will feel such a relief. Admit huge mistakes were made. Now move on, do something worthwhile for the people around you and the world.

• you cant even write a worthwhile post....just copy and paste....who cares!?! who even cares about anand jon anymore? he isnt worth fighting for. he can sit in jail and draw up a story book composed of horrible little drawings and convince his crazy head that he actually matters in this world and that everyone else was just jealous of him or wanted to be him. he can be "king anand" in his own crazy delusional majesty.... we will move on, and our lives will become more fulfilled. you will have to live with the fact that you will not be able to fool anyone anymore and you cant shake your own demons. your life has no more worth...that can change however. anand can make amends and redeem himself and so can you. there is still hope if you finally find true faith.

• gloria says: I am not a slut like all thse complaing women to hang on to a young ,handsome ,successful designer,even if he does not need you.UKKIEEEEEEEEEEEE WOMEN.I know truth hurts,these complaining women are going to jail...I am not surprised to see their desperation...they are scared.Anand Jon is innocent and he will walk out as a free man .We the people believe in his innocence and we support him.We all live happily ever after. You all can write any shit ,the truth remains that Anand Jon is innocent

• like it or not, most people are forgetting about anand jon and moving on. he is a lost cause. you, "gloria", may constantly live in his shadow, and he will drive you mad. you are the only one left for him. look back on before this all happened, years ago....why didnt he grow up and realize that he cannot continue to do what he was doing? didnt you have a clue when girls came to you and tried to tell you what he did? no, instead you demonized them and ignored the truth. no anand jon is not an innocent man.

• No one called you a "slut". We understand your feeling emotional as you are so close to him. Your position is weak, and the hatred you spew about his victims is actually against the law...like it or not, victims have rights!(watch yourself Sanjana, soon you will piss off "WE THE PEOPLE!"...I wouldn't suggest that.) Like anonymous above has written. Anands own countrymen do not follow him. He has been convicted. You are the last to receive the memo.

• I am visiting India right now and there has not been a single piece of news about Anand Jon in the two months I have been here. At least in the English print media and TV. It seems typical here that something makes headline news for a few days, only to be forgotten and replaced with some other sensational news. The honeymoon between Indian media and Anand Jon is over. And Anand Jon lost. Most respectable people in India will not ever support a man convicted for what Anand Jon was convicted for. Unless there is some fantastical change in the course of his case in the US, Anand Jon will be forgotten in India. And rightfully so. He is no Gandhi

• Gloria, I know that it hurts dear, but you also have been living in the wake of a sociopath. He's driving you completely mad. You are the woman who didn't escape. You are all he has left, and the only person still defending him. Your world is everything he tells you it is. Only he can tell you the color of the moon. You see with your own eyes, but he tells you the moon is orange, and you will defend it as orange. This is how he raped the young women. This is what it is to be entwined with a sociopath. His illness is powerful. Research a sociopath, every document says RUN! I guess you will spend the rest of your life, defending his "honor"...67 years is a very long time to live in the past of what once was. The question is, would he do the same for you? I wonder if he truly would do exactly for you what you have done for him? Even his mother has left his side. But not you. Poor, poor Gloria. What an ugly ending. I so wish you could stand on your own two! The tragedy is not him. The tragedy is YOU!

• "gloria" you are psycho. get help with your split personalities you might convince yourself this but you are so lost in your world. maybe anand could draw more crazy drawings and make a story book the way it was 'supposed to be' happily ever after the end!

• THE PROSECUTION MADE A MISTAKE AND THEY ARE GOING TO CORRECT IT.THEY ARE GOING TO BE VERY HAPPY TO SEE ANAND JON SET FREE AND JUSTICE DONE TO HIM.ALL THESE COMPLAINING WOMEN ARE GOING TO JAIL FOR PERJURY.MARA AND FRANCIS WILL BE HAPPY THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE GUILT.JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL.LONG LIVE JUSTICE.WE THE PEOPLE BELIEVE IN ANAND JON'S INNOCENCE AND SUPPORT HIM.WE ALL WILL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

• If the Prosecution were sure there was no rape, than Anand Jon would be a free man this moment. The Prosecution stands for the residents of California. I can assure you WE THE PEOPLE believe in his guilt.

• Sanjana.

• I am totally convinced that Anand Jon is innocent and all these complaining women have commited perjury under oath,because to start with there was no rape.The Prosecution is also sure about this.I am sure that Anand Jon will be proved of his innocence and will come out free

• I am totally convinced that Anand Jon is innocent and all these complaining women have commited perjury under oath,because to start with there was no rape.The Prosecution is also sure about this.I am sure that Anand Jon will be proved of his innocence and will come out free

• To Gloria is spot on. Really there is only Sanjana on this blog, and one crazy Indian guy who loves to use profanity. There is no support for this rapist. They fled a long time ago when they realized the truth. I've seen it in other blogs. As soon as the verdict came out, they realized.

• A sociopath is without conscience, tactile, and needs to make their victims a willing participant of their rape or murder. The "complaining women" theory only helps define this diagnosis. The women of this case were painfully young, and part of the harem he collected and abused at his disposal in and outside of his living space. Your opinion Gloria, of these young women being merely disgruntled holds no weight, because of the journal he kept. In his own words and own writing, he proves himself a sociopath. The sociopath diagnosis can be explained by any psychiatrist. Ted Bundy murdered his victims through their willingness. Sociopaths play and manipulate the minds of their victims in order to get what they want. You Gloria, are setting the womens movement back hundreds of years. All jurors agreed on 16 counts. The 3 they did not agree on was thrown out of court. He was TRIED! It is time for the sentencing. If that is too tough a pill for you to swallow, than here is a smaller dose. Anand Jon lost his RIGHT IN AMERICA to even be around women under the age of 21 in 2003. His own disregard for his probation, is another sociopathic tendency. If you don't like our laws here in America, do not break them. We don't mess around! If you have been warned once, it is your own fault for assuming you were so special our laws do not apply to you. He was warned. You should stop pretending to be so surprised. YOU KNOW THAT HE WAS WARNED!

• I should clarify that. When I say "the innocence of her brother" I mean the her perceived notions of her brother.

• Sanjana again. You know the biggest mistake she made was focusing on vile mean things to say to the victims of her brother. Instead she should have focused on the innocence of her brother. She has made herself a pariah and made so many not involved with the case come to the victims' rescue. She used the old method used in India... a nasty method of degrading rape victims so that the judge decides there could be no rape of such loose women. But it does not work here. But she is too dumb to realize.

• All these complaining women are crying rape just to get some cheap publicity and thought this as an easy way to make fame and fortune.They were all hanging around Anand jon for years.They enjoyed partying wIth him,when they get rejected they want to take revenge on him.We are not fools to buy these stupid cooked up stories of these complaining women.Do not waste our tax payers money on these false allegations.

• Only after sanjana gets raped,she will be able to understand the trauma of a rape victim.sanjana,try to understand the pain of an rape victim.sanjana,what your brother has done is inhuman.dont support him just because he happens to be your brother.

• I like you Anonymous above;-) Well, they seem to believe he is bigger than the law. The perfect human being. Should we explain to them rape conviction is much more than a "complaint?" Nah! Let's leave it to the judge.

• Sanjana.

• I have known Anand Jon for more than 12 years.He is the most gentle ,caing and wonderful man.He has always given me the best advice ,even stopped my smoking habit.He was always a good influence on me..I have met many of these complaining women.Anand Jon was so tolerent and kind to those crazy girls.I have seen them trying to get his attention.All of them was trying to make him their boy friend and wanted more from him.I am praying for AnandJon .God will save him from all these blood sucking devils .Anand Jon will come out Jail and all these problems.Anand Jon be brave.Victory is yours.GOD BLESS YOU DEAR aNAND JON

• Yes - clarified. And yes - we will never tolerate rape - ever. Now brace yourself for more ludicrous posts from idiots...

• Anonymous 3 above. I was not referring to the ludicrous racism theory put out by the Anand Jon camp. We Americans may not be perfect, but we have lost hundreds of thousands of lives in the past century, both within our own country, and throughout the world, fighting the BACKWARDS THINKING of racism with regard to sex, religion, politics, and personal agenda. As a whole, we have stood up for every color of skin, and religious denomination that exists within this world. "AND JUSTICE FOR ALL"...That is our motto. My personal opinion of the "racism theory" within this case, is that it is a weak stance. What I do not appreciate from the Anand Jon camp, is claiming racism, then turning around and spewing absolute hatred and garbage towards America. Their hatred is causing outrage. That was the point I wanted to make. We Americans do not tolerate rape, EVER. Case closed. Virgin, non-virgin, or "job-criteria" does not make rape legal. He was imprisoned without bail, because of the overwhelming evidence against him that he had hurt women in America. His journals and his videos were enough to hold him. Also the fact he broke his probation. The color of his skin, has nothing to do with it. I hope I clarified.

• Anand should be given the maximum punishment,he must be made an example for other potential rapists.

• I don't think Miss Independent was talking about the racism theory put out by AJ's camp. I think she was fair and balanced.

• The racism argument is total BS. You can tell above is trying to pull a fast one. Nice try - but no. Get real. This is about a serial rapist and pedophile. This is about crimes against women.

• Dear Steve, Thank you for writing this article, and the numerous others you have written. You are very good at remaining unbiased and just delivering the facts of the case to the public. It's a shame the blogging gets so underhanded, dirty, name calling, racist, America slandering, and the profanity at times is beneath even a deserved response. I do, along with many others, greatly anticipate the final decision of the law. There is nothing, any amount of profanity, and racist remarks written on this blog can do to change the law. No one's opinion of this man, no matter how well or heinously written is going to change the outcome. For me personally, I will be glad when you deliver the news of the final decision. Will he be sentenced in Cali? Will they re-try him? What will happen to the charges he faces in other states. I just look forward to those questions being answered. In great admiration of your work, (and the uproar that always follows your stories, no other journalist brings out the victims, the family, the haters and the lovers. You must be our favorite.) Respectfully, Miss Independent.

• This blog forum has become sick. Let the supporters of Anand Jon spew their ugly hate towards woman and towards America. I trust in our judicial system. The fact remains, "opinion" will not save him. The law will decide. Not the family. Not the haters. THE LAW! God Bless America. There is a reason we are the most powerful country in the world. We regulate YOU when YOU screw up in your country! We regulate YOU when YOU come HERE and screw up in OURS! You don't like it? Don't screw up!

• There is so much simmilarity between Shiney Ahuja's case and Anand's case.both of they say that they have not raped the girls but it is the girls who have raped them.hahaha. Shiney is a lucky guy, as he is in India he will get away because of the corrupt judicial system but in Anand's case its going to be a different story as he is holed up in the USA.

• ANAND JON IS INNOCENT .WE HAVE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.ALL THESE GIRLS ARE DIRTY, FILTHY ,MANIPULATIVE BITCHES.THEY SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL.

• kapoor-what exactly do you think this juror had to say that proves anand jons innocense? what inside info does he know? a juror who was never even around and doesnt know anything. what will he say that is going to help him? get real!

• I want all of you supporters to realize that rape is a punishable offense in America. Don't even think about coming here and expecting to get away with it. Get real.

• Kapoor, I repeat. Do not come to America if you think you can rape our women and girls. We will imprison you. You have been warned.

• Anand Jon is not a criminal, and his family is going thru a lot, the girls who have lied about the rape are on sugar daddy.com sites, which innocent girls will do that, i guess its only the very needy girls, they have no proper guidance from their parents..and are looking for money and framing innocent famous people like Anand Jon, they make easy targets..

• Anand Jon is innocent for sure, why are people feeling so bad about defending and hearing all the truth that is being revelead by Sanjana. I think its high time to hear and know the actual truth about the Jurior, he must be a kind man to speak the truth about Anand Jon's ordeal.

• kapoor- anand jon is a real criminal. real criminals can come off pleasant and charming too. I dont understand what you mean when you mention the family's trauma. what about the trauma the victims have to endure? this is a vicious cycle and it takes alot to get over and start to feel self worth again. no one wants to be deemed a victim. this family has hurt alot of people and yet they still dont admit their wrongdoings. they should be ashamed of how they are representing themselves. this will be one of the messiest court cases documented. anand jon is now an infamous name.

• its very wrong to blame the sister and mother for anything, they seem to be very nice people and are doing trhe right things on the case, they are bringing justice to the case, truth always prevails, throwing accusations at them reflects on how badly you were raised by your mothers..

• Well all these idiot supporters mean nothing to the American people. Don't bother coming to this country if you think you can rape our women and girls. We will imprison you.

• AnandJon is innocent for sure, the Jurior has told that to Sanjana Jon, I believe that the Jurior is telling the truth.

• i think that many people were shocked at the verdicts, Anand Jon was innocent, these girls completely lying on the stand. i think i remember one girl where they showed her picture on the screen to the court and she declared "that's not me!". and then that Holly girl that many articles focused on not only from the perjury, but from the blatantness of it. they should not call these crazy people again. seems like these girls will do anything to make it famous. and waste time and money of the court.

• Sanjana, you and your mother should have helped him curb his desires. Forced oral sex? Rape? Underage girls? Come on! He already got caught once! What is wrong with you?

• Come on people, I believe Anand Jon is guilty but let us face the reality. A sister may(will) do anything to get her brother out of prison!Particularly if she along with him believes most of the girls are not virgins, and have had sex with who ever they wanted before!So, the attitude is :-its not a big deal for the girls!THIS IS THE INDIAN ATTITUDE AND WILL BE FOR ATLEAST 1000S OF YEARS TO COME!INDIRECTLY IT MEANS A PROMISCUOUS PERSON CANNOT BE RAPED, OR CANNOT EVEN CLAIMED TO BE RAPED!OUTSIDE THE WESTERN CIVILIZATION THIS IS THE UNWRITTEN RULE.I BET IT WAS THE SAME ATTITUDE IN THE WESTERN WORLD TILL ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO!MiLLIONS OF WOMEN SUFFER IN INDIA AND OTHER COUNTRIES WITHOUT ANY JUSTICE AND CLOSURE!IN MOST AFRICAN countries MILLIONS ARE RAPED AND MUTILATED EVERY DAY! I do see some of the girls were not promiscuous as per Indian defintion, but once you get into this preying of vulnerable people it becomes so much of a thrill that the perpetuator doesnt think of anything! Most Indian americans who come to US have been warned by relatives about the straightforward and "if caught" US system. They also know any criminal conviction will go against thier citizenship process (and being a US citizen) for which they will die for! Unfortunately success got into the head of this guy Anand Jon,and he thought he could get away with things! I like to point out SCANDIVIAN COUNTRIES which no harsh punishments have been facing the issue of rape and murder of thier young girls by the people they let in, the refugees and immigrants from muslim countries.IT IS CALLED DIGGING YOUR OWN GRAVE!Thank GOD I live in a country that protects its own people GOD BLESS USA. HAPPY JULY 4th Everyone!

• there is no video of him with an underage girl - sorry to disappoint but that's the propoganda that is pushed out there by the haters who don't care about the truth. wish people see the truth soon that Anand Jon is innocent.

• Anand Jon should be a freeman, there are so many real crimanals roaming free, Anand Jon is innocent...

• Sanjana is not guilty of doing anything wrong, infact she is brought this JURY TAMPERING in the open for the JUDGE to see the truth, I'm happy she told this to the JUDGE, so people can see what trauma the family is going thhru..this case has lots of loop holes, now the JUDGE is seeing it all, and Anand Jon will get freedom.

• I understand it the JUROR contacted the sister in the cafeteria and the elevator. JUROR told her to call him. JUROR gave her his phone #. JUROR has all the power here. JUROR is hanging all this over the sister's head - of course you'd call.
