āThe Clifton Rapistā 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 ā Britainās longest-serving prisoner.
Evans was jailed in 1979 for 52 years and an ITV News documentary can reveal he has been released from prison.
The story of the covert operation is now being told for the first time in ITV Newsā film āDecoyā.
