John Worboys: The Black Cab Rapist

John Worboys: prolific sex offender

When prolific sex offender, John Worboys, was eventually arrested for drugging and sexually assaulting a number of women he had picked up as passengers in his cab, from pubs and clubs in the city, the victims had a hard time being believed.
