Superdry

James Holder, co-founder of Superdry, was sentenced to eight years in prison after a jury found him guilty of raping a woman at her Cheltenham flat following a night out in May 2022. The court heard the victim was intoxicated and repeatedly asked Holder to stop; Holder accepted sexual activity occurred but denied assault, claiming consent. His application for bail was dismissed due to being considered a flight risk with significant resources. Superdry said Holder had no role at the company at the time of the offence. » More on theguardian.com
