00:00John Warboys is serving a life sentence after luring women into his taxi late at night, pretending to have won
00:07money and offering them a drink laced with drugs.
00:11One of his several victims was the wife of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, then 19-year-old Carrie Johnson,
00:20who in 2007 was spiked by the cabbie.
00:24She has since spoken of how relief he will be kept behind bars.
00:29In a decision published on Thursday, the Parole Board said a panel found Warboys continues to represent a high risk
00:37of committing further serious sexual offences upon women.
00:41The 68-year-old accepts that he does not currently meet the test for release and claims to feel enormous
00:49regret, remorse and shame towards the women he has harmed and their families and friends, according to parole papers.
00:57Warboys was first jailed in 2009 for 19 sexual offences linked to attacks on 12 victims between October 2006 and
01:08February 2008 in London and given an indefinite sentence for public protection with a minimum term of eight years.
01:17In December 2017, a Parole Board panel decided he was ready for release, sparking a legal challenge by two of
01:26his victims that successfully got the decision overturned.
