John Worboys preyed on women who trusted him as a licensed taxi driver. When they got into the back of his cab in the 2000s, he would drug and sexually assault them.

The series synopsis reads: “We see what countless women say they have to go through after reporting being raped, the indignity of multiple interviews and intimate evidence gathering, and how they can face sceptical lines of questioning from the police.

Believe Me will relate how the Met’s failings effectively left Worboys free to commit assaults undetected for many years; following his trial came the realisation that he was linked to allegations of further sexual offences against over a hundred women.”

The series follows the stories of victims Sarah (Aimée-Ffion Edwards) and Laila (Aasiya Shah), who reported the sexual assaults and were failed by the Metropolitan Police, who did not thoroughly investigate the allegations. We later see the women fight to keep their attacker in jail years after he was convicted for his crimes.

When is the Believe Me finale?

The finale of Believe Me will air on Monday, 18th May at 9 pm on ITV1. You can watch it afterwards on ITVX.

Watch Believe Me on ITV1 and ITVX.
