Serial rapist John Worboys denied parole again

  • Worboys was initially jailed in 2009 for 19 sexual offences, with a previous parole decision in 2017 being overturned following a legal challenge by victims.
  • He received two life sentences in 2019 after admitting to further crimes that came to light following the initial publicity.
  • The Parole Board stated they were not satisfied Worboys no longer posed a risk to the public, hence refusing his release or transfer to open prison.
