  • Police have launched a fresh probe into John Chukwunonso Iwuh, a nurse convicted of rape, renewing calls for potential victims to come forward.
  • Iwuh, 54, was jailed for 16 years in July last year for raping a woman he met on Hinge, using his psychiatric nurse role to gain trust.
  • Officers discovered nearly 11,000 contacts on his phone, many linked to women and dating apps, prompting concerns about further victims.
  • The Metropolitan Police are currently assessing additional reports and investigating four other allegations against Iwuh, including three for rape, dating back to 2007.
  • The Nursing and Midwifery Council faced criticism for not suspending Iwuh sooner, allowing him to work with patients for over a year while under investigation.
