Superdry co-founder James Holder is accused of raping a woman in her own bed after a boozy night out, a court has heard. The 54-year-old denies the charges of rape and assault by penetration. The alleged incident took place in the early hours of 7 May 2022 following a night drinking in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
The court, sitting in Cirencester, was told that Holder and a friend shared a taxi with the woman after the night out in the town. Despite indicating they were heading to a different address, the pair allegedly followed her into her flat. Holder then went to the toilet and promptly fell asleep on the woman's bed.
