Los Angeles, Oct 17 : A court hearing Indian fashion designer Anand Jon’s multiple sexual assault case was told that DNA tests had confirmed that he had had intercourse with one of his alleged victims.

Sheriff''s Department senior criminalist Learden Mathies told jurors that semen traces on a tampon worn by alleged victim Jessie B matched Jon''s DNA, reports LA Weekly.

However, the Jon’s attorney got the criminalist to admit that his DNA testimony only suggested that a sexual encounter had occurred, not necessarily that it had been the result of rape.

The 34-year-old was originally indicted on 59 counts in September last year. But most of the charges against him have been dropped.

His charges included, rape, sexual exploitation of a child, sexual battery and forcible oral copulation.

Jon has denied the allegations. If convicted, he faces the possibility of life imprisonment. (ANI)
