Simon Levy, 40, was convicted at the Old Bailey for the murders of two women and the rape of a third. Despite a history of sexual violence, the perpetrator was repeatedly released on bail, allowing him to continue his attacks on the London Underground.
The four bail releases that bypassed ViSOR supervision
The case of Simon Levy highlights a catastrophic breakdown in the supervision of violent offenders within the United Kingdom . According to the report , Levy was released on bail four separate times despite being repeatedly arrested for sexual assaults and even murder. This pattern of release occurred despite his status as a person who should have been closely monitored by both probation services and the Violent and Sex Offender Register (ViSOR).
This failure mirrors broader concerns regarding the protection of women in public spaces, drawing comparisons to the scrutiny faced by Scotland Yard following the murder of Sarah Everard. The report notes that while Levy was supposed to be under strict supervision, his ability to roam the London Underground at peak times went largely unchecked by the Metropolitan Police and British Transport Police.
The murders of Sheryl Wilkins and Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo
The escalation of Levy's violence culminated in the deaths of two women. as reported by the source, Sheryl Wilkins was murdered on August 28, 2025, in a location near Levy's own home. Earlier, the body of Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo was discovered in a stairwell of a disused block of flats in Southwark, south-east London, where investigators found evidence of suffocation.
Levy's crimes were not limited to these two fatalities.. He was also convicted of the rape and near-fatal suffocation of a third woman,an attack that left her with a broken collarbone. These crimes followed a long history of sexuaal violence,including 13 sexual assaults committed between 2018 and 2025.
A collection of notorious offenders like John Worboys and Jeffrey Epstein
Investigators discovered that Levy possessed a chilling psychological interest in high-profile sexual predators. the report states that Levy had amassed a significant collection of newspaper stories regarding notorious offenders, including black cab rapist John Worboys, Jeffrey Epstein, and Harvey Weinstein.
This obsession coincided with a highly calculated method of operation on the London Underground. To facilitate his crimes, Levy reportedly used a stolen Oyster card to travel freely and tied a jumper around his waist to conceal his movements while groping or attacking women in crowded carriages.
Who are the unidentified women in the London Underground?
While the convictions at the Old Bailey have brought some justice, significant questions remain regarding the full extent of Levy's crimes. Police have stated that they believe there are many other women who have not yet come forward to report his attacks.
The source indicates that detectives believe Levy may have been carrying out daily attacks for several years. This leaves a critical gap in the investigation: how many women were targeted during his time on bail, and how many of his "daily attacks" went unrecorded by the British Transport Police?
