Celeb designer charged with rape

A fashion designer whose list of clients include Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and Bruce Springsteen is being held in an LA jail on charges of rape after a March 6 arrest. "There was sufficient informationt that warranted his arrest," according to a Beverly Hills police officer. However, the case could be more complicated than it appears. "He had a consensual relationship with a woman who is over 21 years old," says a source. "The apartment was filled with at least five other people. The next day, [Jon's accuser] was trying on his clothes so that she could model his jeans line at LA Fashion Week. She went to lunch, and something dramatically changed when she came back." Jon's lawyer says, "My client vehemently denies any unlawful sexual acts. We believe the LA county district attorney's office will treat my client fairly and this matter will resolve itself."
