Black cab rapist could be kept in prison
Victims and campaigners have welcomed the possible reversal of the Parole Board’s decision to release black cab rapist John Worboys from prison.
The looming decision follows a concession from the new Justice Secretary that the serial sex offender may yet remain locked up.
David Gauke said on Saturday night that he sought legal advice on the prospect of starting efforts to keep the predatory attacker behind bars.
The announcement last week that London cabbie Worboys would be freed nine years after he was imprisoned prompted dismay from victims’ groups and politicians.
He was jailed indefinitely in 2009, with a minimum term of eight years, for drugging and sexually assaulting women passengers.
