What a sick joke. The justice system in the UK has let down the victims of this disgusting mans crimes. How can any society call itself civilised when cretin's like this are allowed to walk free after less than 10 years!?
Reading this article this morning really annoyed me. Releasing him is bad enough but to do it in the area he hunted his victims in is an ouright insult to the those whose life he destroyed. Many of his victims are still unknown and will NEVER be the same after meeting this bastard.
For those of you who don't know who this scumbag is I'll give you a brief rundown.
Believe it or not the following is from his Wikipedia page! .....
John Radford (born John Worboys in June 1957 in Enfield, Middlesex) is a convicted sex offender, known as the Black Cab Rapist. Worboys was convicted in 2009 for attacks on 12 women. Police believe that he may have had more than one hundred victims, which would make him one of Britain's most prolific sex attackers.
You can click the link to read more however I don't want to dwell to much on the details of this POS's crimes, I'd rather focus on the ridiculous system that is preparing to release him back onto the streets of Britain.
Lets dig a little bit into the article to see what the parole board, justice secretary and other pontificating politicians are saying about this travesty of justice........
Black cab rapist John Worboys has been moved to a prison near to where the vast majority of his attacks on women took place, it has emerged.
Worboys, 60, from Rotherhithe, east London, has moved over 200 miles from HMP Wakefield to Belmarsh in the capital ahead of his impending release on parole. The Sun reported that he was driven down over the weekend.
Victims have previously requested that Worboys, who was jailed indefinitely in 2009 for 19 offences against 12 victims, including rape and sex assault, be banned from London.
Last week a letter was signed by city MPs, led by Boris Johnson and Zac Goldsmith, urging the Parole Board to exclude him from the capital.
Am I missing something here? What difference does it make whether he lives in London or not? Yes I realise it would be a slight comfort to victims however it's not where he is released that is the issue, it's the fact he's being released at all that is the main concern here , surely?
He will be held at Belmarsh before being found temporary lodgings at a probation hostel. The move comes just days after the Government opted not to challenge his release.
Justice Secretary David Gauke decided it would not be appropriate to seek a judicial review of the case after taking legal advice.
Lawyers for victims have since confirmed they intend to move ahead with their own challenge over the next few days.
The outcry over his release first erupted earlier this month when the Parole Board opted to release him, despite serving less than ten years behind bars.
The Parole Board said last week that it noted the Government's decision not to proceed with judicial review proceedings, and welcomed the expansion of the review.
This is a 'man' who was terrorising women on the streets of London, drugging and raping them on an industrial scale. Just 10 years ago!
Why would anyone think that he is not a danger anymore? He has served just 9 years of an indefinite sentence, a sentence that was to be reviewed when he was deemed to not be a danger to women anymore.
What has changed?
Why is he all of sudden NOT a danger to women?
He is only 60 years old, he is in good health. I wouldn't release this scumbag if he was terminal, it would be an insult to those who's life he has destroyed with his disgusting crimes.
Please take time to read this article by one of the anonymous victims of Warboys. I'm not going to put it directly in the post as it is upsetting and unnecessary, it does need to be linked here though for those who aren't aware of the trauma these victims are having to relive once again as this story hit the headlines.
But even worse than his impending release is this little nugget of information which I'm sure will incense many along with his victims.
Check this out from dailymail.co.uk ......
Fears serial black cab rapist John Worboys could be awarded damages from his VICTIMS if their last-gasp bid to block his release fails.
- The 60-year-old sex attacker received an indeterminate sentence in 2009.
- Worboys was jailed for drugging and sexually assaulting 12 women in his cab.
- But a Parole Board decided last year he no longer presented a risk to the public.
- A solicitor for two victims is planning to launch a legal challenge to his release.
However, she says that if it fails, Worboys could have a claim for damages.
Serial black cab rapist John Worboys could win damages if a last-gasp judicial review to block his release fails, a lawyer has said.
Harriet Wistrich, a solicitor representing two of the sex predator's victims, is planning to launch a separate legal challenge to his release on Wednesday.
But Ms Wistrich, who works for Bimberg Pierce, told The Sun that if that bid fails, there's a chance Worboys could have a claim for damages.
'If we hold back his release, if we fail, he may have a claim for damages,' she told the newspaper.
'The fact is that under the law, his release would have been held back.'
WTF?! So if this deviant is stopped from being released early he can sue his victims!!
Are you freaking kidding me? What has the world come to when a serial rapist can sue his victims and win because they block his release?
It ain't right.
It is my sincere hope that a last minute government intervention happens here, God knows they're useless when it comes to almost everything but the politicians will earn their inflated salaries if they stop this injustice, however I have my doubts. So the best we can hope for is that some of the previously unknown victims find the fortitude to step out of the shadows to face their attacker so he can be sent back to jail hopefully this time for life.
Why can't the judges, magistrates, parole boards and politicians get it through their tiny brains - they F....... WORK for us! To keep us safe.
We get the same shit down here too and us Aussies have had enough.
TRUTH IN SENTENCING!
PRISON IS FOR PUNISHMENT AND FOR THE PROTECTION OF OTHERS; NOT FOR REHABILITATION!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
SirKnight.
Hear, hear SK.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who is sick of these morons putting the rights of the criminal before the victim. As far as I'm concerned you give up your rights when you're convicted of this kind of crime. What's worse though is the parole board were made up of one man and two women! WTF were they thinking? Surely if they'd spent time putting themselves in the victims shoes this travesty would never have happened. The politicians pontificate about capital punishment being barbaric while allowing this utter scumbag to go back on the streets where he raped dozens if not hundreds of innocent women.
Well I don't give a shit mate, string em up I say!
It's sad to hear Oz has sunk to the same depths of stupidity, hopefully you Aussies can turn the tide before your great land becomes as morally corrupt as mine.
You're dead right mate, enough is enough.
TP
This just makes me so bloody angry, but I shall keep it short and on point otherwise I won't stop. What kind of a sick world do we live in where people are languishing in jail for growing a plant, or failing to pay their council tax and yet scum like this a free to walk the street!?
Further proof (if any were needed) that legality and morality parted company a very long time ago. For me sexual crime and abuse is right up there with murder! Indeed many of these women have had their lives, their confidence and their relationships stolen from them by this depraved freak and yet still the justice system twists the knife!
I hear he's found God? well it's easy to find God when faced with an eternity of damnation .. perhaps he should have looked before he acted on his sick fantasies .. looked before he destroyed the lives of his victims. Lock him up and throw away the key!!
Amen brother.
Funny how these scumbags find God right around parole time.
This twat would never get out of jail in many countries and rightly so, why does Britain have to be so pathetic when locking away the dregs of society? Oh that's right, the EU court of 'justice' said it was against human rights to give someone a life sentence without the chance of parole.
Well they can fuck right off too!
Another example of the flaws in the legal systems all around the world.
I personally believe any convicted sexual aggressor and rapist, should be castrated, it’s that simple.
Since this criminals don’t respect the integrity of other people’s bodies, their integrity should not be respected as well. And with this punishment they obviously can’t rape anymore.
Agreed 100%
There is no justice, if there was this scumbag would be taking a 'dirt nap' already.
Absolutely monstrous! And how many times do we need to hear almost this exact same story? Pedos getting released super early, rapists, murderers!! Yet people are doing more time for possessing a plant! Something which causes no harm :'( I cry!!!!!! They WANT these sick fucks out there making the world an even scarier place! Creating the NEED for more police, and more fear!!
That's one of the things that annoys me the most. Locking folks up for weed! WTF is that all about? It's ridiculous when you consider that this scumbag in this post is being released as part of prison reform!
What reform? So they can clear cell of a rapist and lock up someone who wants to grow themselves a bit of green? What a farce. The worst thing though is those poor girls, their lives are ruined and the justice system is putting the boot in while they're down, it's unforgivable.
Thanks for weighing in Lyndsay 😉
"FEAR" politicians thrive on keeping people in a constant state of fear, it aids the divide and conquer sequence, a divided people will put up with all sorts of so called measures to keep them safe, but if you think about it, for every so called terrorist event, the government gets more power, and the people less freedom, so government has no interest in keeping anyone safe, and locking people up for growing natures plants is beyond logic itself, now where is my tinfoil hat at again.
Rapists, child molesters and mass murderers need to be put to death.
This should apply to persons for whom there is not a single doubt that the crimes were committed by them. So only when it is 100% certain without any doubt what so ever.
That is my personal opinion.
God help me, but this isn't a person who is a cretin, people like this are literally a human form of the antichrist.
Pure EVIL. Not people who made a "mistake" but the pure definition of EVIL.
Yep, I'd top the scumbag along with all the other deviants taxpayers money is wasted on while their dirtbag lawyers are looking to sue the victims. Geez mate this stuff pisses me off.
Governments are definitely not the representatives of THE PEOPLE!
Looks like they are serving EVIL, I don't care how anyone wishes to call it, but what is happening all over this world is EVIL!
Agreed.
Governments represent the interests of big corporations and banksters.
They are definitely representing EVIL!
Now try and translate all this = the stories of Sodom and Gomorrah as it would have been written back in the day.
= LEADING TOWARDS (SELF) DESTRUCTION!
I agree with you. And yet child molesters and rapists get some of the LIGHTEST sentences. Its so messed up.
This kind of thing is why I always say if I had the button for the bomb that could end humans, I would push it.
All of this evil needs to be wiped out.
Rape for me has to be the worst crime a person could commit ourside of course cold blooded murder ! The world has gone insane and this story merely points this out still more @tremedospercy, I lose sense of hope sometimes(
Agreed, but the 'authorities' still don't do the right thing when sentencing these dirtbags.
This git would have been convicted and sent straight to the gallows of it was down to me. He'd have been twitching on the end of a rope and buried in an unmarked grave before the newspapers printed the verdict.
Cheers for checking in mate.
yes that would make two of us indeed @tremendospercy !! there is no excuse for rape, a man guilty of that needs to be lowered slowly feet first into a tank of boiling oil ! Let his flesh feel the burning pain and extent of the Hell he brought upon others no doubt psychologcally speaking !
That'd do it!
The story is one of extreme injustice... I cannot believe that is civilized society will so loosely and carelessly release an animal back into its midst. I'm sorry that these women have to relive the horror of these rapes just by knowing that he is going to be out loose on the streets and perhaps attacking yet another woman or women. What will it take for them to put him back behind bars? Will the next rape be sufficient, or will he murder to get back at them? Nothing can return a normal life to these women. Even a lifetime of keeping him behind bars would not restore them and make them whole again, but to make them fear unnecessarily this man being at large and perhaps incredulously even suing them is indeed a disgrace to a Civilized Nation.
What is to be said of the motives behind all of those rapes?? This is truly a sick man who has a deep hatred for women. I shudder.
He's not a man, a real man would never commit such horrific crimes.
He's an animal and should be treated as such, when an animal is sick and can't be cured we put it down as it's considered humane, I don't suggest this POS deserves humane treatment after what he's done but I'm sure his victims would sleep better knowing he was dead and buried.
Thanks for reading Janelle. ❤️
Wow, those women living in fear while he roams the city probably waiting to attack again.
It's so beyond wrong. They need to retry him with new accusers, by all accounts there are many.
It's so unfair to those who thought they were putting the worst thing that could happen to them behind them.
I despise injustice.
What options to they have at this point? Can they file another class action suit?
I guess so but it means the poor victims have to go through the court system again.
Worboys enjoyed his first trial by all accounts trying to engage with his victims.
Like I said "It ain't right".
As a Christian, I struggle with judging others.
As a Texan, born and raised, I'm glad we fry people like this so I don't have to waste my tax money allowsing this guy to have a place on this Earth anymore.
Not only that, the taxpayers are paying for this scumbags defence lawyer! What a joke.
This is one of the oh so many reasons I packed my bags and left the UK, the whole system is a mess/broken, they want people unhappy, over watched by camera everywhere you go, every native is made a victim by the endless push to prioritize the minority and empower the few at the expense of the many, to push transgender down children's throats via tax payer funded education systems that pump out the illiterate of next year to name just a few things.
Good riddance to bad rubbish, glad I left, and never going back.
Yeah, I sometimes wish I'd never come back here.
It's not forever though, we're gonna piss off somewhere else when I retire.
I'm done with this place.
If ever you fancy giving Poland a shot, I would be more than happy to show you around, or just meet up for a drink, if you want a break from the united condom of rain, for a weekend, Krakow is particularly beautiful in the spring.
Hey Man, that's really cool of ya.
I may take you up on that one day, I've never been to Poland and its definately on my radar, thanks a lot dude.
No problem, I am retired so have all the time in the world, I just authored a piece entitled The year 2025 on here, I almost wish I could let you, v4 or percetualflaws publish it, you would get more than my pittance of 0.08cents.
Cheers buddy
You’re post looks a bit better than 8c now mate 😉
So I am getting there then, where ever there is :-) Thank you, much appreciated.
Now that's a cool reaction! :D That's exactly what I love about steemit!
Too bad all of those posts are too old for me to be able to add my little few cents as well!
How can you not resteem this.nice work tremendospercy
Outrageous. Do you think someone was paid off?
No. I just think it's ridiculous liberalism in play.
How anyone could believe this man is rehabilitated is beyond me.
The total decadence of the West and it looks like we are going in unwanted direction, while globalization is taking over. He should have been castrated instead of being free, cuking hipocrates.
Agreed mate, thanks for reading.
At times, law treys to protect the guilty, which suppose not be so. Law does not embrace justice anymore, this is extremely bad and uncalled for
Agreed buddy, thanks for reading and commenting.
its so sad, serial rapist like him should be life imprisonment and also locked up in an assylum coz he must be sick.
For sure, he should never be let out.
What a sick sociopath. And maybe eve a bigger and sicker sociopath is the legal system for letting this happen. Truly terrible.
Can't argue with that mate, it's a disgrace.
Got a criminal face cu** :@
Fucking A dude. You'd never get bored of stoving his face in.
