There could be 1,000 or more victims of black-cab rapist John Worboys, says Carrie Johnson

Carrie Johnson, the wife of the former prime minister Boris Johnson, has said there could be “up to 1,000, if not more”, victims of the black-cab rapist, John Worboys . Johnson, who helped bring the serial sex attacker to justice, said she had been contacted by more women who believed they had been assaulted by him. Worboys is serving a life sentence after drugging women in his taxi by offering them spiked drinks after pretending he had won money. Last week the Parole Board said he “continues to represent a high risk of committing further serious sexual offences against women”. Johnson, one of several women who spoke out to keep Worboys behind bars, said news that he had been refused parole came as a “huge relief” to many survivors. She told Good Morning Britain: “The truth is that his crimes span from, what we know, from 2000 up to when he was convicted in 2009. And he was a cab driver for that duration, out potentially every night in his cab, so there could be up to 1,000, if not more than that.” She said more people had come forward saying they believed they had been in his cab after watching an ITV dramatisation of the case . This “might really help keep him behind bars for good”, she added. …
