If everyone will notice, the defense's entire case pretty much hinges on discrediting the system, the police, and the prosecution rather than defend him against the actual charges. It's all they have and that tells his guilt more than anything. As for guilt, I honestly don't know many girls who have sex while on their periods. That's just disgusting. He clearly forced her, and the fact that he didn't care if she were on her period just shows that a.) he has a disgusting sexual perversion and b.) he didn't care about her comfort or willingness. That'd be a selfish, disgusting rapist in my book. Just because he didn't chase her down, beat her, and brutally rape her doesn't mean she wasn't drugged and raped quickly and without excessive force. He's a small guy I'm sure so a quick few moments in her while she's half out of it and there you go. Rape. Case closed in my book.

I agree with Disgusted's take on the nature of the defense, and was myself disgusted that the local Indian papers have played this up as racial revenge, going after "a brown boy from a good Indian family" for having had the nerve to have (voluntary) sex with white girls. There are too many girls with similar stories to remotely make Anand Jon the victim of a set-up as the defense and Indian community tried to claim. They sound dumb in many cases, staying at his apt., but some were lured to LA by false promises of an apt. with other girls, and had no place else to stay. And he had enough legitimacy and fame and success to make his promises to them plausible. Clearly he was using those things as a trap, and his sense of entitlement that men over 35/ 40 have when raised rich "from good (well-connected) families in India makes too many feel invincible and women as creatures that exist for their own ego. -- Younger men and those educated abroad are often broader minded towards women and merge the best of both cultures, but Anand Jon is a cultural dinosaur despite his relative youth.

Anand may had liked beautiful girl's company (unlike many of the male fashion designers), but it is foolish to believe that he had to rape them. These accusations were purely racism and professional jealousy against this fashion genius.

Ok, but this thing to notice is that why these girls didn't come forward right after the time of rape. Why did they all wait? Why is the wording of their stories so similar? It's clear that they all sat together at a round table and made this plan. I understand that their stories could have been alike...but the same wording in most cases? So many cases have also been dropped against him....Also just because that girl was on her period does not automatically mean that it was rape. There are many girls who do engage in intercourse while they're on their periods. Anyway, aside from that, I really don't think Anand did this because he had worked way too hard to make it to the point where he was and there is no way he would mess it all up for sex!

Jealousy? Of what? He built his career around his famous "friends" and he had his girls and assistant cut labels off others' clothes and put his on it. The reason he got young girls off Myspace to model for him was a combo of wanting to BE with them, and also because they were cheap/free. Why? Because he couldn't afford nor land regular models because no one really took him all that seriously. Someone finally did I guess, willing to give him 20 mil there at the end, but his behavior had caught up to him by then. Karma.

At the end of the day, he ADMITTED (in his own writing on his "conquest list") to having sex with girls as young as 14. In every state in America, that makes him a rapist. There you go. Face reality.
