Victims and campaigners have welcomed the possible reversal of the Parole Board's decision to release black-cab rapist John Worboys from prison, following a concession from the new Justice Secretary that the serial sex offender may yet remain locked up.

Victims of "black cab rapist" John Worboys must be contacted by liaison officers urgently, a UK MP has said, as she warned that he knew their addresses.

The chairman of the Parole Board has apologised "unreservedly" over the failure to inform the victims of serial rapist John Worboys of his imminent release.
