Glimpse into intercourse predator’s internal world reveals curiosity in Donald Trump and true crime
Serial sex predator Simon Levy followed influencer Andrew Tate and searched the web for stories about rape and murder around the time he killed two women and violently assaulted a third.
The jobless 40-year-old, who lived with his mother in Tottenham, north London, largely remained silent after he was arrested over the deaths of Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, 53, and Sheryl Wilkins, 39.
However, his internet search history provided a glimpse into the inner world of the convicted sex offender as his behaviour escalated to murder. Following his arrest, police seized his computer and trawled through nearly 100,000 items including web browser history, Google searches, webkit browser history and images.

Among the high-profile individuals Levy looked at online were Tate and US President Donald Trump. Between October 2024 and September 2025, Levy had also browsed news websites for stories about murder and displayed an interest in a range of topics including sports, politics, theft and music concerts at his local Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
He had looked up the names of criminals as well as tennis players, comic book characters and the movies Wicked and Tom and Jerry back to Oz.
Levy’s intimacy issues were revealed in further searches about whether you can find love at Notting Hill Carnival, not being able to find the right person to marry, and “why would your girlfriend betray you”. The carnival was the scene of an earlier sex assault and where he picked up an Oyster card used on the day of Ms Valencia-Trujillo’s murder in March last year.

Days before he raped a woman near his home in Tottenham in January 2025, Levy made inquiries online about refusing to pay an escort for sex. In her evidence, the rape victim had told jurors how Levy had offered her money for sex but then reneged on the deal before subjecting her to a violent assault, leaving her with a broken collarbone.
Five days before murdering sex worker Ms Wilkins last August, the evidence indicated that Levy had watched an interview with Tate on YouTube and a video entitled “Mary Trump reveals the childhood trauma that made Trump the way he is”. The same night, there were more web searches about the US President and another YouTube video about Tate.
Among seemingly innocent images of sports personalities, food and watches were screenshots of news articles about murder, rape and other crime.

Levy’s earliest known sex offending had dated back to 2018 when he sexually assaulted a woman at a party in Camden Market and another woman at the Notting Hill Carnival, for which he was convicted in 2021.
In 2022, he assaulted a prison officer and went on to attack 10 women on the London Underground upon his release between October 2023 and May 2025. He was convicted of those offences in February 2026.
Levy, who had lost the sight in his right eye in May 2024, had by then moved back to live with his mother, Marcia Clark after a spell in an approved premises for prison leavers in Southwark, south London. As an ex-offender, Levy had repeated contact with authorities before and during the period he committed the murders and continued his sexual offending.

In a probation interview in 2024, Levy revealed that he had not been in a relationship of any kind with a woman since 2023, aside from his mother. He did not use online dating services and had not attempted to renew any intimate relationships with past girlfriends, he said.
When asked about sex workers, he denied having paid for sex and stated this was not something that he would do. However, he also described frequently being offered sexual services both while living at his approved premises and at his mother’s home.
He talked about having had to pay for the affections of females and said that he would like to experience a long-term, meaningful intimate relationship but “needed to work on himself first”.

Levy was the subject of two home visits to monitor and assess his risk as an ex-offender in the period between the two murders. On March 28 2025, he told officers that he did not go out and watched films and YouTube instead.
When he was visited by officers on July 10 2025, he maintained he was not going out much as he was not stable on his feet and did not meet friends. He had also claimed his eye injury and mental health kept him at home.
Levy was first arrested for the murder of Ms Valencia-Trujillo at his home in Beaufoy Road on April 1 last year but was released under investigation, leaving him free to murder Ms Wilkins. As he was being led away, his mother asked police: “What are you talking about murder?” and Levy insisted he “didn’t do nothing like that”.
On his arrest for the murder of Ms Wilkins in September last year, he protested his innocence again, saying: “I’ve had this situation before, I didn’t do nothing.” Levy refused to answer questions in police interviews and declined the chance to give evidence in his murder trial at the Old Bailey.
