00:00The parole board said John Warboys continues to represent a high risk of committing further serious sexual offences against women.
00:08He is serving a life sentence after luring women into his taxi late at night, pretending he had won money
00:15and offering them drinks laced with drugs.
00:18Mrs Johnson, one of several women who spoke out to keep Warboys behind bars, said news he had been refused
00:27parole came as a huge relief to many survivors.
00:31She told Good Morning Britain that more people have come forward saying they believe they had been in his cab
00:37after watching an ITV dramatisation of the case.
00:41Warboys was first jailed in 2009 for 19 sexual offences linked to attacks on 12 victims between October 2006 and
00:53February 2008 in London and given an indefinite sentence for public protection with a minimum term of eight years.
01:01Reflecting on her own experience, Mrs Johnson recounted the night the cab driver spiked her drink after claiming he had
01:09won big at a casino.
01:10While she managed to pour one glass of champagne onto the floor, he later returned with a bottle of vodka,
01:17which she would discover had been spiked.
01:20Years later, allegations against Warboys emerged and a friend Mrs Johnson had confided in contacted her about the case.
