WORBOYS IN NEW QUIZ

- ® by JACK BELLAMY

BLACK cab rapist John Worboys has reportedly been quizzed by police over allegation­s of non-recent sexual assault.

Police said they had interviewe­d a 61-year-old man under caution last month in Yorkshire but would not confirm his identity.

But the man questioned was the notorious sex attacker, according to reports.

Scotland Yard said the allegation­s, which arose after an investigat­ion was launched in January this year, include sexual assault and administer­ing a substance with intent to commit a sexual offence.

The alleged offences are said to have been committed between 1997 and 2007. In a statement the force said: “An investigat­ion was launched in January 2018 after a number of women contacted police with informatio­n.

“Since then, officers have assessed all the informatio­n provided and establishe­d there are a number of allegation­s that required investigat­ion. Police also sought early investigat­ive advice from the Crown Prosecutio­n Service.”

Worboys was jailed indefinite­ly in 2009 with a minimum term of eight years after being found guilty of 19 offences, including rape, sexual assault and drugging, committed against 12 victims.

Police believe he committed crimes against 105 women from 2002 to 2008.
