VICTIM 2: 9 November 2006: Worboys picked up a 29-year-old journalist in Regent Street at 3am and claimed to have won £70,000 gambling. She accepted a glass of champagne which quickly left her unconscious. Took the morning-after pill after losing her memory.
VICTIM 3: 4 April 2007: A 22-year-old woman picked up by Worboys near Oxford Circus repeatedly refused to drink his champagne. He told her: “You've really wasted my time tonight.”
VICTIM 4: 28 June 2007: Worboys picked up a 21-year-old woman in Oxford Street and told her he had won £47,000. She remembered “lolling about” and later discovered her legs were bruised.
VICTIM 5: 5 July 2007: A 19-year-old was picked up in the King's Road and accepted £50 from Worboys to drink a vodka shot. She was dropped in East Sheen hours later unsure about what had happened.
VICTIM 6: 26 July 2007: Worboys picked up a 19-year-old student, gave her a fizzy drink and shoved a tablet in her mouth before assaulting her. Police arrested him but did not proceed with the case. He created an elaborate lie to explain any DNA by claiming she had pounced on him.
VICTIM 7: 20 December 2007: Worboys raped a 27-year-old office worker after picking her and a friend up in Tottenham Court Road. After dropping the friend off, Worboys gave her champagne and pills. She told Worboys she was a virgin and a lesbian but had flashbacks of Worboys being “on top of her”. Police found his DNA on her underwear.
VICTIM 8: 2 January 2008: A 29-year-old woman blacked out in his cab after Worboys gave her homemade wine. She remembered little except the defendant exposing himself to her. Police later found his DNA on her clothing.
VICTIM 9: 31 January 2008: Worboys used a sex toy to assault an advertising director he picked up in Soho. She recalled him being in the back of the cab fiddling with her dress and his belt. Her DNA was found on a vibrator in his Fiat Punto.
VICTIM 10: 5 February 2008: A 33-year-old mother was sexually assaulted by Worboys after he gave her a glass of champagne. The next day she could smell on her clothes the same brand of aftershave Worboys used. Her complaint finally led to his arrest.
VICTIM 11: 14 February 2008: A 30-year-old woman spotted a pill Worboys had dropped in a glass of champagne after he picked her up in Soho. He offered to pay her for sex but she demanded to be taken home. She saw a press report about him the next day and contacted police.
VICTIM 12: 15 February 2008: His last victim was an 18-year-old girl he drugged just hours before he was caught. By the time she called police he was in custody. Officers found her wristband and a cup carrying both her DNA and traces of sedatives in his home.
