A woman who was raped by Superdry co-founder James Holder has told she had been working for him at the time of the attack and had to return to work to face him just days later.
Gemma, not her real name, was attacked by the disgraced fashion boss in her own home after Holder got into her taxi following work drinks on a Friday night in 2022.
In an exclusive interview, she described feeling fear and dread on the following Monday morning as she walked into work at a new business Holder had launched after leaving Superdry in 2016.
Asked whether he spoke to her that week, she said: “Yeah, he did. Very much like he would have spoken to me the week before. As if nothing had happened.”
Multi-millionaire Holder, 54, was jailed in May for eight years for raping Gemma, in what the court heard was a “despicable piece of sexual violence”.
