Keeping the Black Cab Rapist Behind Bars, with Carrie Johnson

from Deep Dive

In 2009, John Warboys - the so-called black cab rapist - was convicted and jailed, believed to have attacked more than 100 women, making him one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders. Nearly twenty years later, ITV's drama Believe Me has brought his crimes back into the national conversation. Host Nicola Thorpe speaks to two of those survivors: Carrie Johnson, who has written about her experience for the Mail, and "Sarah", who has chosen to remain anonymous. Together, they describe what it took to keep Warboys behind bars - a crowdfunded judicial review that put them at risk of losing their homes if they lost - and the landmark changes to parole board transparency that their campaign helped bring about. This is a story about female friendship, and a justice and policing system that still has a long way to go.Host: Nicola ThorpProducer: Artemis Irvine Content Editor: Joseph Palmer Executive Producer: Bella SoamesA Daily Mail production.
