Woman who sued therapist for sexual assault says she ‘wanted justice’

Ella Janneh brought civil case against Michael Lousada after her case was not prosecuted and two appeals to CPS were dismissed

When Ella Janneh was awarded 217,000 in damages in the high court after a civil case against a TV sex therapist she accused of raping her, it was the culmination of an eight-year fight that she said at times almost broke her.

I don't think anybody chooses to make the most humiliating experience of their life something to be publicly known for," she said in an interview with the Guardian, explaining why she continued to pursue justice despite the odds.
