Serial sex offender Simon Levy jailed for whole life over murders of two women

Police and prosecutors admitted failings after Levy’s escalating sexual assaults ended in two murders and a rape, leading to a whole-life prison term.

  • On Wednesday, Judge Mark Lucraft sentenced Simon Levy to a whole-life order at the Old Bailey, ensuring the serial sex attacker will spend the rest of his life in prison with no prospect of release.
  • The Crown Prosecution Service admitted it failed to oppose Levy's bail during two magistrates' court hearings in May and June 2025, allowing the 40-year-old to remain free despite prior convictions dating to 2018.
  • A jury convicted Levy of murdering Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo in March 2025 and Sheryl Wilkins in August 2025, with the killings interspersed over eight months alongside sexual assaults on six women on the Tube and Overground.
  • Survivors branded Levy a "monster" and "parasite" during impact statements, while the Independent Office for Police Conduct served misconduct notices on two officers over their failure to intervene in his escalating violence.
  • The Metropolitan Police and British Transport Police admitted failings in how they managed Levy while on bail, as Scotland Yard issued a plea for any additional survivors of his attacks to come forward to authorities.
