A 'vulnerable' young singer and actress has been left suffering panic attacks after her masseur sexually assaulted her at a Thai massage parlour in London’s West End.
Masseur Sundaralingam Koodalingam, 36, who came to the country from the Maldives in 2021, assaulted the woman while working at the Rupert Jade Thai Massage in Soho.
As she lay naked on the table, Koodalingam intimately touched the famous singer and actress, who cannot be named for legal reasons, without her consent.
He has been jailed for four years with Southwark Crown Court hearing of the 'significant psychological harm' and 'ongoing impact' on the woman's day-to-day life.
In a victim impact statement that was read to the court, the woman said the assault has 'fundamentally changed' her and she has been left 'untrusting'.
