Having lost a prolonged court battle, high profile India-born fashion designer Anand Jon has petitioned a California court, seeking permission to dismiss his attorney and defend himself. The California court, which convicted him for sexually assaulting upcoming models, has scheduled hearing on the petition on Monday. Jon currently faces 162 years of imprisonment. Anand Jon said, "I know it must be hard to be a judge, but I was heartbroken by Judge Wesley's ruling."
Jon will be appearing in person in Los Angeles Superior Court in Beverly Hills on April 4 for arraignment.
Jon remains in Los Angeles County jail following his arrest on March 6 for rape and related charges. The bail was set for $1.365 million.
