A woman who was ordered to pay £25,000 damages after harassing a Dubai businessman she had a one-night stand with is facing arrest following a no-show in court.
Cynthia Chia, 38, was ordered to pay the five-figure sum, for both harassment and libel, to energy trader Idowu Ogunkanmi, 44, after she launched a 'horrific' campaign of harassment and falsely accused him of raping her.
She met the father of three in a London nightclub in 2015, and they had a one-night stand before Mr Ogunkanmi flew back to Dubai, where he lives and works.
The High Court heard earlier this month that in the following months, Chia subjected him to a ‘sustained, relentless and vindictive’ campaign of harassment that lasted almost nine years.
A restraining order was imposed on Chia, and she was due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court for breaching it twice, but failed to turn up.
