BRITISH police believe that a London taxi driver convicted of a string of attacks on female passengers is linked to more than 100 cases of sexual assault.
Scotland Yard said yesterday that a total of 102 women have said they were victimized by 53-year-old John Worboys, who was convicted of assaulting 12 of his passengers in a highly publicized trial last year.
Worboys drove one of London's iconic black cabs, the distinctive sedans that ferry busy Londoners across the city. Worboys' case attracted a lot of attention in part because the cabs are advertised as one of the capital's safest forms of transport, particularly for women.
Prosecutors accused Worboys of picking his victims up at trendy west London nightspots. He'd tell them he'd won money in the lottery, and invited them to have a glass of champagne, which he laced with powerful sedatives.
