os Angeles, Sept 1 (PTI) Celebrity Indian-American fashion designer Anand Jon was today sentenced to 59 years in prison by a court here for sexually assaulting aspiring models.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Wesley announced the judgement following a day-long passionate argument by 35-year-old Jon himself seeking a fresh trial.
