UPDATE: Press release from Jon's camp:

"Jon's lawyer, NBC legal commentator Ronald Richards, told The News: 'My client vehemently denies any unlawful sexual acts. We believe the L.A. County district attorney's office will treat my client fairly and this matter will resolve itself.'

A source tells us, 'He had a consensual sexual relationship with a woman who is over 21 years old. The apartment was filled with at least five other people. The next day, she was trying on his clothes so that she could model his jeans line at L.A. Fashion Week. She went to lunch, and something dramatically changed when she came back.' "
