Taxi driver, John Worboys, who is believed to have carried out more than 100 rapes and sexual assaults on women in London between 2002 and 2008, is to be freed from jail.
It was reported that between October 2006 and February 2008, Worboys sedated 12 women, raping one of them, carrying out other sexual assaults on five more and an attempted sexual assault on another.
His DNA was recovered from a semen stain in one woman’s underwear. A wristband belonging to another was found in his house, and a third victim’s address was found in Worboys’ notebook. Forensic evidence linked a vibrator found in his car to another victim.
He was convicted of 19 offences in 2009 at Croydon Crown Court and ordered to serve at least eight years in jail. The following year police said a number of women had come forward and that his alleged victims now numbered more than 100. The victim all travelling alone at night were aged 18 to 33.
Worboys who is now 60, has spent 10 years in custody including a period on remand.
