Shawn Mount, hairstylist and husband of famed supermodel Heidi Mount, has been accused of sexually assaulting a 24-year-old model at a West London Hotel during London Fashion Week.

According to UK newspaper The Daily Mail, the attack happened on September 20 around 1:30 am. The next day, Mount was arrested and interviewed by a central London police station. He was later bailed out but ordered to return on November 10. “He has not been charged and we are still investigating.” says a Scotland Yard spokesman.

While Mount, who has styled hair for Ralph Lauren campaigns as well as Vogue editorials, denies the allegations, crime experts and investigators have spent days examining the room where the attack happened as well as taking in items, such as bed linens, in for further investigation. As for the alleged victim, she has been interviewed by specialist sex crimes detectives from the Sapphire unit and has been referred to a victim support centre.

We definitely need an update on this when November 10 comes around.

the fashion industry is very small and I’m sorry but he is known to be a creeper…

He posted bail so he could work Milan Fashion Week. Bet those were some awk-ward jobs.

Shawn Mount, New York stylist husband of one supermodel “slowly climbing her way to fame,” Heidi Mount, has been arrested in the UK today for allegedly raping a “rival” model at a hotel during London Fashion Week, while his wife was away on a gig in Milan.

That article says he “strenuously denies the attack”, but that it seems he doth protest too much.
What is the appropriate level of denial for someone who claims they’ve been wrongfully accused of rape? What an absurd statement.

I don’t know what the appropriate level is, but the same article is also insinuating the alleged victim is making it up, after stealing him for a night, just to get at a rival. I think that article is what one would call “sensationalism”.

On second look, it appears to be some sort of blog, posted here for self-promotion, so let’s retract the honorific of “article”. ;)

If all of the creepers in this industry were felons, there’d hardly be anyone left after a round up.

He’s not famous, he’s not rich, why would anyone falsely purposely accuse him?! Unless he has enemies that would gain an advantage of this accusation I think he really did it.
If she really stole him for the night just for some flirting, it doesn’t give him the right to harm her in any way and simply he could’ve ignored her and left. If his wife meant anything to him he would not let the “model” steal him!
