As the High Court said, this was an exceptional case, as there were a very high number of complaints to the police, and two of Worboys\u2019 victims brought a successful action against the Metropolitan Police for its failures to properly investigate their complaints.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Therefore, in the light of this judgement, the Secretary of State has pledged that all relevant evidence of past offending should be included in the dossiers submitted to the Parole Board, including, possibly, police evidence, so it can be robustly tested at each Parole Board hearing.
