Mum of black cab rapist victim slams John Worboys’ release and says ‘he knows where she lives’
THE mother of one of John Worboys' victims has slammed his release as "disgusting" - and fears he could strike again.
She voiced concerns that the rapist, now 60, who picked up his victims in his black cab during his reign of terror in London, would know where many of the women live.
, the mum said: "[He's] a serial rapist and he knows where she lives.
"I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. He could start all over again."
She added: "People like that are a danger. He's never going to change. It's in him."
It was announced this month that a Parole Board had astonishingly ruled Worboys should be released after serving less than nine years for his sickening attacks.
Worboys, who became known as London's black cab rapist, was convicted of rape and several sexual assaults.
He was jailed indefinitely in 2009 and police have since linked him to more than 100 further rapes and sexual assaults after other alleged victims came forward.
The allegations were investigated but no further action was taken on the advice of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), police said.
But despite a major outcry the monster is now set to walk free from prison.
Women's Equality UK said: "The criminal justice system continues to fail to protect women.
"Police believe John Worboys targeted more than 100 women but he was convicted of attacking just 12. Now he will be freed – without his victims even being informed."
Yvonne Traynor, CEO of Rape Crisis South London, described the time Worboys spent in prison as "woefully short".

She said: "It feels far too soon for this dangerous and manipulative perpetrator to be released into the public having served this woefully short time in prison.
"He may be free to live amongst us but the women he raped will never be totally free from his despicable actions."
Even his ex-wife Jean Clayton, 60, blasted the decision to release him, saying: “He should never be let out. The next step would have been murder.”
