Black cab rapist John Worboys is selling his £250,000 flat in North London – it has been revealed.
The convicted predator, 61, bought the one bedroom flat in April in 1981 and currently makes £861-a-month by renting it out – according to the Mirror.
But the disgraced cabbie, who once owned properties across the UK, is now being forced into a mass sell-off to pay for legal fees.
According to the agents marketing the property, it is in a ‘sought after development; in Enfield, North London.
It has a shower room and garage and has been lived in by the same tenant for 26 years.
Last month it was announced Worboys will remain in prison for at least two more years as police revealed he could also be charged with new sexual offences.
Worboys, 61, was convicted in 2009 of attacking 12 women but detectives believe he may have targeted more than 200 others in London and the Bournemouth area.

The sexual predator had a ‘rape kit’ in his cab and would convince victims to share a glass of wine or Champagne with him to celebrate a bogus lottery win.
But he would spike the drink with sleeping pills and abused them while they lay unconscious in the back seat.
Worboys is waiting to learn if he will face new sex charges after fresh allegations against him.
He will need to pay for lawyers if he is prosecuted and will also need representation should he make a fresh parole bid in two years’ time.
