Five years ago, Natalie Pack was living the life she had dreamed of since she was a little girl. The tall, blue-eyed brunette was an accomplished dancer traveling the world as a professional model, taking college classes and engaged to marry.
But then she met Anand Jon Alexander, the celebrity fashion designer known as Anand Jon, and the life she knew was destroyed. Alexander, she alleges, raped her in 2004, leaving her Golden Goose Sneakers "lifeless and soulless."
"The mental and emotional scars I'm left with are permanent," Pack, 31, told a judge in a victim's impact statement. "I don't have much hope that I will ever get better."
Alexander, 34, was convicted in November of last year on 23 counts of sexually assaulting several girls and young women. On Aug. 31, he was sentenced to 59 years to life and won't be eligible for parole until he serves at least 85 percent of his sentence ' in 2075.
It was an epic fall for the South Indian-born designer who moved to the United States and studied fashion at the Parsons School in New York, where his intricately beaded designs started selling at top department stores and began appearing on celebrities as varied as Oprah Winfrey, Janet Jackson, Paris Hilton, Lawrence Fishburne and Paula Abdul. In 2002, www.goldengoosesneakers.co.uk/ he was given a People's Choice award and the next year was featured on three episodes of America's Top Model.
