Facing new accusations, ex-model accused of rape sues over jail conditions

Dean Kelly — the former Aerosmith video star facing several rape charges based on allegations that he lured college girls to his home, gave them alcohol and then sexually assaulted them — was accused by prosecutors two weeks ago of “hosting college-age girls at a Mardi Gras party in which he allegedly plied them with booze, obtained their cell phone numbers, then later sent suggestive and harassing text messages,” reports Mike Perlstein of WWL-TV. In response to that attempt to have Kelly’s $1 million bond revoked, defense attorney Frank DeSalvo has filed suit saying that the unconstitutional conditions in the prison would make a return there would jeopardize Kelly’s safety, Perlstein reports.

Update, 4:47 p.m. Tuesday: Kelly has been ordered back to jail with a new bond of $2.5 million, Perlstein reports.
