The entrepreneurial socialite opened "Club Paris" in Florida in 2004 with businessman Fereidoun "Fred" Khalilian. However, the Orlando club closed quickly after its opening - only to be reopened as Dolce Nightclub - and Khalilian and Hilton parted ways.

However, Hilton's name is now being dragged through the mud in connection with Khalilian after he was arrested on rape charges.

The entrepreneur is accused of sexually abusing a woman in her 20s after she left his nightclub on November 9.

The woman contacted authorities on November 10 and claimed that Khalilian raped her in his home.

Hilton, however, is no longer in contact with the accused.
