Notorious rapist to be freed from jail

London cabbie rapist John Worboys is to be released from jail. The former stripper and adult film star was jailed indefinitely in 2009, with a minimum term of eight years for drugging and sexually assaulting women passengers.

He was found guilty of assaulting 12 women during an 18-month period in the city, but police said more women had come forward and that his alleged victims numbered more than 100. Many of his victims were young women who had been drinking in West End and Chelsea nightspots.
