The "black cab rapist" John Worboys must stay in prison, the Parole Board has ruled.
Worboys who is now known as John Radford, was jailed in 2009 for assaults on 12 women in London.
Among reasons given for refusing the 61-year-old parole were his "sense of sexual entitlement" and a need to control women.

In January the Parole Board said he would be freed after serving 10 years, but victims challenged the decision.

The High Court overturned the board's original ruling and sided with the legal challenge.

The BBC has seen a summary of the reasons why the Parole Board has now refused to release Worboys, which include "risk factors" such as Worboys' "sexual preoccupation, a sense of sexual entitlement and a belief that rape is acceptable".

Among the documents considered by the panel were a 1,255 page dossier on Worboys and personal statements from seven victims.

Police believe Worboys may have carried out more than 100 rapes and sexual assaults on women in London between 2002 and 2008.

A welcomed development, no doubt received with relief by his victims.

This should have been the outcome originally.
