James Holder, 54, a co-founder of the fashion brand Superdry, is jailed for eight years after being convicted of raping a woman in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Sources report that the attack happened after the victim went on a night out in May 2022. After the night out, Holder and the woman travel to the woman’s flat: several accounts say Holder and/or an accompanying male friend returned to the victim’s home after a taxi journey, and that Holder went to the flat in the early hours. The BBC and others state that the rape takes place in the woman’s flat. Reporting also says Holder does not stop the assault even when the woman is distressed; at least one outlet describes the victim crying and Holder continuing. He is sentenced following a conviction by a jury at Cirencester Courthouse, with the sentence delivered on Thursday. The outlets do not indicate any challenge to the verdict in the coverage provided, and all reporting describes the defendant as being from Cheltenham.
