A celebrity sex coach who lost a civil trial over claims he raped his patient opened a clinic with one of the largest private healthcare providers in the UK just months before the incident, court documents claim. TV personality Mike Lousada will be forced to pay more than £200,000 in damages to Ella Janneh , a former patient of his, after courts found he regressed her into a childlike state before carrying out several sexual acts including penetration without consent in 2016. Lousada is a prominent celebrity sex therapist, who has been featured on national TV programmes such as This Morning, in major press outlets, in videos for Durex and referenced in the book of feminist author Naomi Wolf.
According to evidence submitted to the High Court, Lousada also had connections with Spire Healthcare - one of the largest private healthcare hospital providers in the UK. In a statement to the court he said he had been approached by Spire Healthcare and opened a Sexual Wellness Clinic in their Southampton Hospital in the same year he assaulted Ms Janneh. The statement said: “In 2016 I was approached by Spire South Hampton Hospital to set up a Sexual Wellness Clinic which I duly went on to do.
Formal protocols were put in place for this work and approved by the hospital administration. Although the protocols in place specifically relate to the work undertaken at the Sexual Wellness Clinic.” Have you been impacted by this article? email rebecca.
