POLICY WIRE — London, UK — Robert Greens, infamously known as the ‘Da Vinci rapist,’ may be subject to lifelong monitoring following his recent conviction. The court’s decision comes after a series of sexual offenses that have spanned decades.

Greens was first convicted in 2005 for a string of rapes committed in Edinburgh. His modus operandi, which involved leaving behind calling cards with a drawing of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man,” earned him his notorious nickname.

The latest conviction adds to his criminal record, prompting the court to consider extended surveillance measures. Details of the new offenses and the specific terms of the monitoring order have not been publicly disclosed.

This development underscores the UK justice system’s approach to handling repeat sexual offenders, emphasizing the need for stringent measures to protect the public.
