Monica Coghlan

Epic card · No. 10026

Monica Coghlan (3 April 1951 – 27 April 2001) was an English woman. The centre of the scandal was British Conservative politician Jeffrey Archer in 1987. Although he won a libel case against the Daily Star newspaper, which had alleged that he had paid her for sex, it was later established, in legal proceedings in 2001, that he had perjured himself in the trial. Archer was jailed in July 2001, receiving a four-year sentence. Coghlan died in a car crash shortly before the second trial began, without having the chance to face him in court before his subsequent conviction.
