Carrie Johnson, the wife of former prime minister Boris Johnson and a survivor of the assaults by London taxi driver John Worboys, says she believes Worboys may have targeted “1,000, if not more” victims. Multiple outlets report she makes this estimate in recent interviews and podcast appearances, and that she links it to later contact from other women who say they believe they were assaulted by Worboys. Reporting across the sources states that Johnson was drugged and assaulted when she was a 19-year-old university student. The Independent and the Evening Standard also report that she warns the total number of victims could be in the thousands, while the Daily Mail coverage frames her account as part of a broader effort to encourage additional victims to come forward. The Mirror similarly reports Johnson’s account of the effects of the drinks Worboys gave her. Overall, the articles present her view that the scale of Worboys’ offending was greater than officially identified, and that further reporting from potential victims continues to come in after public attention.
