Statement after Simon Levy found guilty – London

Following Simon Levy’s conviction at the Old Bailey today, please see a statement below relating to the separate, earlier trial in January 2026 where Levy was found guilty of 11 counts of Sexual Assault on the railway network. 

The trial related to a British Transport Police (BTP) investigation into Levy's offending from October 2023 to June 2025, and reporting restrictions were put in place meaning BTP and the media could not legally report on the outcome until all of the criminal proceedings against him had concluded, as they have done today.  

Assistant Chief Constable Charlie Doyle said: “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.

"We understand that Levy's actions will have a life-long impact on his victims and acknowledge that our initial investigation was not carried out at a fast enough pace. It is clear opportunities to expedite the investigation were missed and we have amended our procedures to address these issues to ensure that repeat offenders are dealt with expeditiously and that linked offences are prioritised more effectively.    

“It is possible that there are other victims of Levy who have not yet reported what happened to them.  If you recognise Levy and believe you may have been a victim of his offending, I encourage you to come forward and report it to us by texting 61016.”
