How young female officers took down the 'Clifton Rapist' in decoy operation



‘The Clifton Rapist’ stalked the Bristol Downs during the 1970s carrying out a series of sex attacks on women, but it was a young female police officer who caught him and sent him down in a ground-breaking decoy operation.



Young female police officers were sent out to walk the streets of Bristol at night in a bid to capture murderer and rapist Ronald Evans – Britain’s longest-serving prisoner.



Evans was jailed in 1979 for 52 years and an ITV News documentary can reveal he has been released from prison.
