Imagine going out with friends, having a great time, and then things take a dark turn. That's what happened to a woman who met Superdry co-founder James Holder in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. They ended up in a taxi, and Holder went back to her flat with her and a friend. What happened next changed everything.

The court heard that Holder had initially planned to go back to his own place in the Cotswolds, but instead, he ended up in a situation that the woman didn't want to be in. She asked him to stop, but he didn't, and she became visibly upset. The prosecution argued that she was too drunk to resist, and that's when the rape happened.

Holder's defense team said that the sex was consensual, but the jury didn't believe them. They found Holder guilty of rape, but acquitted him of a separate charge of assault by penetration. The judge was so serious about the offense that he denied Holder bail and sent him to prison until his sentencing hearing.

James Holder built a successful career in fashion before starting Superdry with his business partner Julian Dunkerton in 2003. They started out with a small market stall in Cheltenham and turned the company into a global brand. But now, Holder is facing a very different kind of challenge.

A sentencing hearing will take place at a later date to determine how much time Holder will spend in prison. This case serves as a reminder that consent is key in any relationship, and that we need to listen to and believe victims of sexual assault.
