Jobless Serial Sex Attacker Guilty of Murdering Two Women and Raping a Third in London

A serial sex attacker could face a whole-life jail term after being found guilty of murdering two women and raping a third. Jobless Simon Levy's crime spree spanned from 2018 to 2025 and included myriad sex attacks on women in public spaces and two killings, as the Metropolitan Police, the British Transport Police (BTP) and the courts failed to stop him. On Friday, Levy was found guilty at the Old Bailey of murdering Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, 53, in March 2025 and Sheryl Wilkins, 39, in August that year.

Levy was also found guilty of two counts of rape, grievous bodily harm with intent and the non-fatal smothering of a third woman whose collarbone was broken during a brutal sex assault in January 2025 in the same car park where Ms Wilkins was later found dead. Here is a timeline of the escalating offending of predator Simon Levy: – July 2018: A woman reports being sexually assaulted by Levy at a party at Camden Market, where he shoved his hand down her trousers and into her underwear. – August 2018: A second woman reports being sexually assaulted by Levy after meeting him on the way to Notting Hill Carnival.

She and a friend danced with him briefly, and he put his hand down her trousers. – October 16 2019: He is arrested for both offences, and charged on July 1 2020. – September 30 2021: Levy is convicted at Southwark Crown Court and jailed for two years. – April 14 2022: He sexually assaults a woman at HMP Brixton by touching her bottom as she walks upstairs.

February 17 2023: He is released from prison. – October 24: Levy gropes a woman while on the Jubilee Line during the morning commute. – May 2024: Levy is accused of a rape in north London and recalled to prison.

He is released in August 2024. – October 21: He “gripped” a woman’s bottom on the Central Line as she travelled to work. As she filmed him to get a clear image of his face, he then did the same to another, as yet unidentified woman. – October 28: He touched another woman’s thigh as she travelled on the Central Line.

November 4: He is recognised by a British Transport Police team, arrested and interviewed but denies any wrongdoing. There is not enough evidence to bring charges and he is released on bail until January 22 2025. His bail is extended to April 16 2025 because of delays in organising an identification parade. – January 21 2025: Levy commits grievous bodily harm with intent, non-fatal suffocation by smothering, and two counts of rape against a woman who cannot be named for legal reasons, in Haringey, north London.

January 25 The woman tells police that she was raped four days earlier, but is too unwell to be interviewed because she is withdrawing from drugs. Detectives say they faced difficulties because she gave the wrong date at one point, there is a lack of CCTV at the site, and she is not easily contactable because she is homeless. Attempts to contact her via social services fail.

March 17: Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo is found dead at the Aylesbury Estate in Walworth. – March 27: A woman reports feeling continuous touches on her bottom throughout her Tube journey from Seven Sisters to Oxford Circus on the Victoria Line. – March 28 – Levy is visited at home by a probation worker, and lies that he does not go out and watches films and YouTube instead.

April 1: Levy is arrested for the murder of Ms Valencia-Trujillo but released on bail. – April 3: British Transport Police had planned to arrest Levy, but delays this until after a risk assessment because the Met has released him under investigation for murder. – April 7: A woman gets on the Tube at Finsbury Park, noticing Levy because of his “retro sunglasses”.

He purposely falls into her and touches her vagina. – April 8: Another woman feels something touching her bottom as she stands back to back with Levy on the Tube. As the train pulls into Charing Cross, he deliberately lets go of a pole and bangs into her.

April 16: He is due to answer bail for the two October 2024 sexual assaults, but this is extended to May 1. – April 26: A woman is travelling home from Westfield Stratford with her mother when she is assaulted by Levy at Stoke Newington Overground. – May 1: A student who got on the train at White Hart Lane said Levy grabbed her bottom just before the train reached Seven Sisters. – May 1: He is arrested for the April 7, April 26 and May 1 sexual assaults. – May 2: He is charged with five counts of sexual assault for which he has been arrested, and is released on bail.
