Lord Lewis Vernon Harcourt 1863-1922) The Man Whom Port Harcourt Was Named After by AkuOlisa: 4:07pm On Aug 28, 2022
Lord Lewis Vernon Harcourt (1863-1922), the man whom Port-Harcourt was named after, was known in London Society as a sexual predator of the young of both genders. He attempted to sexually assault Dorothy Brett, the daughter of Viscount Esher (allegedly a fellow paedophile), when she was about 15. Dorothy Brett wrote of him that "It is so tiresome that Loulou is such an old roué. He is as bad with boys as with girls... he is simply a sex maniac. It isn't that he is in love. It is just ungovernable sex desire for both sexes".
He is rapist and paedophile who raped small girls and boys.

Faced with public condemnation, Harcourt committed suicide by taking an overdose of a sedative at his London home in Brook Street on February 24, 1922. He was 59.
