A BOURNEMOUTH woman who came face to face with black cab rapist John Worboys says she wants him to die in prison.

Becki Houlston, 46, believes she was among the first to fall prey to the sexual predator when he persuaded her to drink champagne spiked with a sedative in the back of his cab.

Ms Houlston is reported to be suffering from flashbacks and anxiety and has spoken out ahead of a sentencing hearing.

She waived her right to anonymity to speak out about the case.

Worboys could be facing a life sentence after admitting four more attacks on women.

A sentencing hearing was due to take place today but has now been adjourned until November 4.

Speaking to a national newspaper, Ms Houlston said: "I want to see him die in prison. This man should never be allowed out. He has shown no remorse and is the worst predator imaginable and I can't see how anyone would see he is fit for release."

The 62-year-old rapist, who now goes by the name John Derek Radford, targeted women who hailed his taxi and plied them with spiked champagne so he could sexually assault them.

In 2009, he was jailed indefinitely for the public protection with a minimum of eight years for sex attacks on 12 women.

Last year, the Parole Board ruled that he should remain in prison, citing his "sense of sexual entitlement" and a need to control women.

Meanwhile, four more victims came forward and at an Old Bailey hearing in June, he pleaded guilty to further offences.

At an earlier hearing in the latest case, prosecutor Jonathan Polnay described similar attacks on the four women.

The first victim got into Worboys's black cab after leaving a bar in Dover Street.

Mr Polnay said: "He told her he had won money on the horses and was celebrating and claimed he had been a stripper with the Chippendales.

"He offered champagne and invited her to celebrate. She agreed.

"This defendant pulled over on a side road off the A40 served an alcoholic drink in a plastic cup, which she drank. That is her last memory that evening.

"She woke up the next day, naked, with her clothes left in a trail on the way to her bed."

The victim recognised Worboys after seeing publicity about his case in 2009 and in December 2018 picked him out in an identity parade.

Mr Polnay said the second victim was a university student in London in 2003 when she was targeted after leaving a nightclub on New Oxford Street in what was "an identical method not only to the first count but a number of previous convictions and allegations three and four".

All the women made their allegations to police in early 2018, but the offences dated back to between 2000 and 2008 in London.

The defendant, originally from Enfield, north London, pleaded guilty to two counts of administering a stupefying or overpowering drug with intent to commit rape or indecent assault.

He admitted two further charges of administering a substance with intent to commit a sexual offence under the Sexual Offences Act.

The maximum possible sentence is life in prison with the possibility of a higher minimum term to reflect the length and gravity of his offending.
