Carrie Johnson speaks out about being drugged by black cab rapist John Worboys

  • Carrie Johnson , wife of Boris Johnson, has stated her belief that there could be "up to 1,000, if not more" victims of serial sex attacker John Worboys , based on the duration of his crimes as a cab driver.
  • Mrs Johnson, who was herself drugged by Worboys when she was a 19-year-old university student, played a role in bringing the black cab rapist to justice.
  • The Parole Board recently denied Worboys parole, concluding that he "continues to represent a high risk of committing further serious sexual offences against women," a decision Mrs Johnson described as a "huge relief" for survivors.
  • Worboys is serving a life sentence for luring women into his taxi, often late at night, and drugging them with spiked drinks under the pretence of celebrating a casino win.
  • Following an ITV dramatisation of the case, Mrs Johnson revealed that more women have come forward believing they were victims, and she urged others to do so, hoping this could help keep Worboys incarcerated "for good."
