Black cab rapist John Worboys admits drugging four more women

Black cab rapist John Worboys has pleaded guilty to drugging four more women.

Appearing at the Old Bailey via video link from Wakefield prison, where he was jailed for at least eight years in 2009 for sex assaults on 12 women, the 62-year-old admitted further offences.

The court heard how Worboys, who now goes by the name John Derek Radford, targeted women who hailed his cab and drugged them in order to sexually assault them.

All four women whose allegations led to the guilty pleas on Thursday first told police of his actions early last year, but the offences dated back to between 2000 and 2008.

They all took place in London, with the first victim picked up by Worboys in his taxi after she left a bar.

Dressed in a light grey and green shirt and spectacles as he appeared in court, he pleaded guilty to two counts of administering a stupefying or overpowering drug with intent to commit rape or indecent assault.

He also pleaded guilty to another two counts of administering a substance with intent to commit a sexual offence under the Sexual Offences Act.
