Police Urge More Potential Victims of Simon Levy to Come Forward
Traveloasisspot.com – Police urge more potential victims of Simon Levy to come forward following the killer sex attacker’s recent convictions. The 40-year-old has been found guilty of two murders and a rape, along with eleven sexual assaults across London’s railway network. Authorities are now reaching out to women who may have encountered Levy, hoping to uncover additional cases that have not yet been reported.
What makes this case particularly alarming is that Levy committed both murders while already released on bail. His freedom was maintained partly because British Transport Police failed to organize an identity parade related to three separate sexual assaults on female passengers. This oversight created a gap in the justice system that allowed the attacks to continue.
Systemic Failures Exposed
Andrea Simon, London’s Victims’ Commissioner, expressed deep concern about how the case was handled. She described the situation as a series of missed opportunities to protect vulnerable women from a known offender.
I’m keen now to see how we can uncover every single key moment that there was to assess the harm that Levy posed to women by every justice agency involved, not just the police, but every critical opportunity there was to intervene.
The oversight regarding the identity parade had significant consequences. Levy’s bail was extended until April 2025, during which time he committed a particularly disturbing rape in a Tottenham car park in January 2025. The timeline shows he then murdered Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, aged 53, in March, followed by Sheryl Wilkins, aged 39, in August. Both victims were described as vulnerable sex workers who were suffocated during the attacks.
Investigations Underway
The Independent Office of Police Conduct has launched investigations into two officers connected to the case. One police constable faces allegations of gross misconduct, while a detective sergeant is subject to a separate misconduct investigation regarding their handling of Levy’s case.
Assistant Chief Constable Charlie Doyle of British Transport Police acknowledged that their initial response was not sufficiently rapid. He emphasized that procedures have been updated to ensure repeat offenders receive quicker attention and that linked offenses are prioritized more effectively.
Our thoughts remain with Levy’s victims and their families, and I commend those who took the stand to give evidence against him in the trial in January for the horrific sexual assaults he committed against them.
Police urge more potential victims to contact them if they recognize Levy. Doyle noted that Levy’s actions will have lasting effects on his victims and confirmed that additional victims may exist who have not yet reported their experiences. Women who recognize Levy are encouraged to text 61016 to report potential incidents.
A Pattern of Offending
Levy’s criminal history extends well beyond the recent convictions. He was previously imprisoned in 2021 for groping two women during the summer of 2018, with one incident occurring at Notting Hill Carnival and another at a Camden party. While incarcerated, he sexually assaulted a prison guard in 2022 but was released the following year.
After his release, Levy continued his pattern of offending, sexually assaulting a woman on the Tube in October 2023 and allegedly raping another in May 2024. He was recalled to prison but released again in August that year.
British Transport Police arrested Levy in November 2024 for four sexual assaults on the Tube. However, delays in organizing an identification parade until the following April meant Levy remained free to commit the rape and first murder during that period.
Additional Complications
Further complications emerged when officers discovered that Levy’s Oyster card had been stolen from a bus driver, giving him a free travel pass that he utilized on the day he murdered Ms Valencia-Trujillo. After her death, Levy was released on bail following two magistrates’ court hearings in May and June 2025. The Crown Prosecution Service admitted it had not opposed bail at the first hearing, and the prosecutor failed to provide all relevant information for the second hearing.
Levy missed three additional crown court hearings for various reasons, yet no arrest warrant was issued. These cumulative failures highlight systemic issues within the justice process that allowed a dangerous offender to remain at large despite multiple warning signs.
