Police Seek More Simon Levy Victims as 2 Officers Face Misconduct Probe

3 articles · Updated · bbc.co.uk · Aug 8

Summary

  • British police urged additional victims of Simon Levy to come forward after confirming no further victims or deaths have yet been linked to the 40-year-old serial offender.
  • Two officers are now under watchdog investigation—one for gross misconduct and one for misconduct—over how Levy was handled while police also review whether monitoring failures let him keep attacking.
  • Levy was on bail and under police monitoring when he violently raped a woman in January 2025, then murdered Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, 53, in March and Sheryl Wilkins, 39, five months later.
  • At least 10 women were assaulted by Levy on London public transport between 2023 and 2025, and BTP has already moved two officers to other roles for incompetence in those investigations.
  • The Met, BTP and CPS have all admitted failings in Levy's management from his 2021 sexual-assault conviction to his 2025 murder arrest, prompting calls for a multi-agency review of how repeat predators are tracked.
