The musician was raped by former hotel porter Soby John after a night celebrating fellow contestant Rylan Clark's 25th birthday at the Mayfair nightclub Mahiki, which was attended by the X Factor crew. She and Rylan were staying at the Hilton London Metropole when the ordeal happened while she was filming for the X Factor in 2012. The singer detailed the harrowing experience in her new memoir, Process: Finding My Way Through, as well as on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast. Presenter Rylan took to Twitter to share the link to the podcast and shared a public, heartfelt message for the singer. "Dear @lspraggan," he began. "I love you dearly, you are so brave and so loved. "Its took me a while to process and revisit all this since the weekend but everyone should know how brave you are and @elizabday done this perfect. I love you X #Sprylan," Rylan added. Lucy's rapist, who was 24 at the time, snuck into the then-20-year-old singer's hotel room while she slept using a staff key card and attacked her. She explained that she passed out and was taken back to the hotel by a member of the production team, where a hotel porter offered to help get Lucy to her room. The porter then flipped the security latch on her door as they left to prevent it from locking behind them. Rylan later went to check on her and made sure her door was locked before he left. The porter returned later to attack her and had to use a traceable keycard due to the door then being locked. Lucy's attacker was arrested and later jailed for 10 years in April 2013. According to MailOnline, he was sent back to India on January 30, 2017. In a statement shared with the publication, a spokesperson for the Home Office said: "'Foreign national){kind=link}
