So, was Carrie Johnson attacked by John Worboys? Nope. The story is a perfect example of how one small mix-up (a pseudonym, a book, a Twitter user with too much time) can snowball into a myth that feels real. But facts are stubborn things, and this one is as sturdy as a London black cab—just without the crime.
Let’s end on a happy note. The real takeaway? You, my friend, are now a rumor-busting pro. You didn’t fall for the hype. You asked questions, stuck with the truth, and maybe even had a little laugh along the way. And that’s the kind of energy the world needs more of—curious, skeptical, and a little bit cheeky.
Now go forth, share this article with your mates, and remember: not every Carrie is a victim, not every rumor is a fact, and sometimes the best story is just the truth, even when it’s boring. Cheers to that, you magnificent fact-checker.
