Serial UK sex attacker jailed for life for double murder, rape after police failings
LONDON: A British serial sex attacker was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in jail on Wednesday, after he was convicted of two murders and rape following an escalating spree of sexual offenses which police and prosecutors failed to stop.
Simon Levy, 40, was found guilty last week of the murder of Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo in March 2025 and of Sheryl Wilkins in August 2025, as well as the rape and serious assault of a third woman in January that year.
Police had arrested Levy several times for sexual assaults against women on rush-hours trains before he was again arrested on suspicion of murdering Valencia-Trujillo, 53, in April 2025.
But Levy was released and sexually assaulted five women before he killed Wilkins, 39, in a brutal attack.
