"A new investigation into black cab rapist John Worboys is under way over an alleged sex attack in the 1990s, police have said. The 68-year-old predator, now known as John Radford, was jailed indefinitely for public protection with a minimum term of eight years in 2009, after he was found guilty of 19 sex offences against 12 women between 2006 and 2008."
"Police previously said that they believe the former male stripper committed offences against more than 100 women before he was caught. He recieved the life sentences after four victims came forward over a public outcry caused by a 2018 Parole Board ruling. The board declared he was safe to be freed after serving 10 years. That decision was later overturned by the High Court, leading to a review of the decision where the Parole Board decided Worboys must remain in jail."
"Lancashire Police has confirmed it is investigating an alleged rape more than 25 years ago in Blackpool, when Worboys worked as a stripper. "We received a report of rape which was reported to have happened in the late 1990s in Blackpool," a spokesperson said. "An investigation was launched, and our enquiries are ongoing. "No one has been arrested at this stage.""
Lancashire Police is investigating an alleged rape reportedly occurring in the late 1990s in Blackpool when John Worboys worked as a stripper. No arrests have been made and enquiries remain ongoing. Worboys, now known as John Radford, was convicted of 19 sexual offences against 12 women from 2006 to 2008 and was jailed indefinitely for public protection in 2009 with an eight-year minimum. He received a life sentence with a six-year minimum in December 2019 after admitting spiking the drinks of four women. Authorities say he likely assaulted more than 100 women before his arrest and parole reviews left him detained due to his sexual entitlement and need to control women.
