Black cab rapist moved back to jail in London

John Worboys, the black cab rapist, has been moved to a prison near to where the majority of his attacks on women took place.

Worboys, 60, from Rotherhithe, east London, has moved over 200 miles from HMP Wakefield to Belmarsh in the capital ahead of his impending release on parole. Victims had previously requested that Worboys, who was jailed indefinitely in 2009 for 19 offences against 12 victims, including rape and sex assault, be banned from London.

Last week a letter was signed by city MPS, led by Boris Johnson and Zac Goldsmith, urging the Parole Board to exclude him from the capital.
