Law enforcement agencies are calling for additional victims of serial predator Simon Levy to come forward after London’s victims’ commissioner, Andrea Simons, highlighted a severe list of institutional oversights. These failures permitted Levy, 40, to continue his string of violent crimes, including two murders and a rape, despite his history as a known sexual offender.
A review into why Levy was not properly monitored is now considered essential. The Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC) confirmed that two officers are under investigation; one police constable faces a gross misconduct probe, while a detective sergeant is the subject of a separate misconduct inquiry. The Metropolitan Police, British Transport Police, and the Crown Prosecution Service have all acknowledged inadequacies in their supervision of Levy between his initial 2021 conviction and his eventual arrest for murder in 2025.
Levy is known to have targeted at least 10 women on London public transport, often choosing crowded carriages to conduct his assaults. Although he was under police monitoring, he committed a violent rape in early 2025 before escalating his crimes to the murders of 53-year-old Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo and 39-year-old Sheryl Wilkins later that year. Authorities continue to examine if Levy is responsible for other unsolved incidents, though no new victims have been identified to date.
