Anand Jon Out of Clink and Back on IM

TAKING AIM Alexander, with friends of various ages

Is Anand Jon Alexander out of custody? The fashion designer and alleged rapist has been sending out instant messages saying that he's back at home. Alexander's lawyer, Ronald Richards, declined to comment on whether his client had posted bail, which is set at $1,365,000. (The Immigration and Naturalization Service has reportedly also placed a "hold" on Alexander, who is not a U.S. citizen.)

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's online Inmate Information Center shows Alexander as being incarcerated at the city's central men's jail. But a spokesman in the department's media relations office says the site's information is 24 to 48 hours old. A court appearance has been set for April 4.
