John Worboys, 50, of Sovereign Crescent, Rotherhithe, south-east London, is accused of rape and multiple counts of sexual assault and administering a substance with intent.

He was arrested after a number of women told police they had been entrapped by a London taxi driver who pretended to have won money before plying them with drugged champagne or wine.

Worboys, a licensed black cab driver, is charged with administering a substance with intent and sexually assaulting the first victim on July 26 last year.

He is accused of drugging, raping and sexually assaulting the second woman on December 21.

The cabbie is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting the third victim on January 3 and the fourth on February 5.

He is charged with drugging the fifth woman on February 14 and the sixth on February 15.

Worboys will appear at Sutton Magistrates' Court in south London.
