The Duchess of Cornwall’s ex-husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, and five of his business partners are being sued for thousands of pounds by a woman who was raped by a security guard employed by their firm.
Andrew Parker Bowles is one of the directors of Profile Security Services, which is being sued for negligence by a woman accusing them of being liable for the security guard’s actions.
The woman was raped in the early hours of a morning in February 2014 by James Kamara, who was employed by the company to look over the block of flats in West London where she lived.
In May 2015, Kamara was found guilty of rape and sentenced to eight years in prison.

The victim, a university graduate in her late 30s, suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and depression following the attack, and in the weeks and months following the incident, she began to drink heavily.
A psychiatric report revealed that the woman began to display ‘anxiety and behavioural problems’, and the long-term effects of the attack left her unable to pursue her career or work normally.
The woman claims that Profile Security Services, based in Wandsworth, south west London, is ‘vicariously liable’ for Kamara’s actions because he was one of the firm’s employees.
The amount in damages that the woman is seeking is currently unclear, but is in the thousands.
