18 Mar
Summary
- Drama 'Believe Me' highlights victims' struggle against Worboys.
- Carrie Johnson's 2007 taxi spiking incident is featured.
- The series exposes police failure to investigate allegations thoroughly.
A new drama series titled 'Believe Me' is coming to ITV, shedding light on the systemic failures that affected the victims of John Worboys, the notorious 'Black Cab Rapist.' The convicted serial sex offender preyed on women, often after offering them drugged champagne in his taxi.
The series will focus on victims like Sarah and Laila, detailing how they reported their assaults. It will specifically highlight the Metropolitan Police's alleged failure to thoroughly investigate these claims, allowing Worboys to continue his crimes.
'Believe Me' will also dramatize the 2007 experience of Carrie Johnson, who was drugged in Worboys' taxi at age 19. Mrs. Johnson hopes the drama serves as a wake-up call to institutions responsible for women's safety.
Worboys was convicted in 2009 for attacks on 12 women, with further convictions in 2019 for four additional assaults. The drama emphasizes the courage of women who came forward and the importance of their voices being heard and believed by the justice system.
