New Delhi: Indian-born fashion designer Anand Jon, charged last month with multiple counts of rape, was released from an immigration court on Monday, according to media reports.
According to a statement from his attorney, Jon was released after an immigration court ruled that a detaining order placed at the time of his arrest was unwarranted. Jon will appear before a Beverly Hills court on Wednesday.
He was being held in lieu of $1.3 million bail, but his attorney Ronald Richards had retained the law offices of Jaehoh Suh to represent Jon in connection with the immigration detainer.
"Mr Suh successfully convinced the government to terminate all immigration proceedings and Mr Jon was released from custody at approximately 8.30 pm today (Monday)," PTI quoted Richards as saying.
