Black cab rapist John Worboys has been refused parole for a second time and will remain in prison .

Worboys is a serial sex attacker who lured women into his cab late at night , falsely pretending to have won money and offering them an apparently celebratory drink which was drugged.

The Parole Board did not direct his release or recommend a move to open conditions, Carrie Johnson said. His hearing was held behind closed doors.

Mrs Johnson, the wife of former prime minister Boris Johnson, posted on X: “It has been a hugely anxious wait knowing that Worboys was up for parole again.

“The relief I feel knowing that he will remain behind bars is hard to put into words.

“Women and girls across Britain are safer as a result of this decision.”
