Former UKFast CEO Lawrence Jones Found Guilty of Multiple Sexual Assaults

Jones, a major Tory donor, convicted of drugging and raping two women in the 1990s and sexually assaulting an ex-employee in 2013, faces sentencing on December 1.

Lawrence Jones, former CEO of UKFast and major Tory party donor, has been found guilty of drugging and raping two women in the 1990s.
He was also convicted earlier this year of sexually assaulting an ex-employee in 2013, but this could not be reported until now due to court restrictions.
Jones has already spent 10 months in jail and is expected to be sentenced for all three offences on December 1.
Jones, whose wealth is estimated at £700 million, set up UKFast in 1999, which employed around 500 staff and had over 5,000 clients, including the NHS and the Ministry of Defence.
Allegations against Jones first surfaced in 2019, and he and his wife severed links with UKFast in May 2020 when they sold their remaining shares to a private equity investor.
