Black cab rapist could be freed despite probe

New allegations...John Worboys

A minimum six-year jail term for sex attacks on four victims ends next month.

And the Parole Board confirmed an assessment has started into whether Worboys can have a fresh parole hearing to determine if he can be released.

But Lancashire Police continues to investigate an alleged rape more than 25 years ago in Blackpool, when Worboys, one of Britain's worst serial sex attackers, worked in the area as a stripper.
