PARIS HILTON - HILTON'S EX-PARTNER ACCUSED OF RAPE

PARIS HILTON's former business partner FEREIDOUN 'FRED' KHALILIAN turned himself into police in Orlando, Florida on Wednesday (14Nov07) to face rape charges. Khalilian, who opened nightspot Club Paris with Hilton in Orlando in 2004, stands accused of raping a woman in her 20s in his home on Friday (09Nov07). A police SWAT team couldn't find Khalilian at his house during a raid on Wednesday (14Nov07); the promoter later surrendered himself after consulting with his lawyer. Club Paris closed earlier this year (07) after Khalilian and Hilton fell out. It has since reopened as Dolce.
