ITV worked with Carrie Johnson for years on drama Believe Me

Carrie Johnson and her husband, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, worked with ITV.

ITV's Believe Me worked with real victims, including Carrie Johnson, on the true crime drama.

The drama Believe Me tells the story of how John Worboys was caught after attacking women.

The ITV series focuses on three of Worboys' victims, including Carrie Symonds, now Johnson.

Carrie was 19 when Worboys targeted her in 2007, spiking her drink with sedatives.

Carrie passed out, couldn't remember the journey home, and later reported the incident.

Carrie Symonds, now Johnson, is portrayed by actress Miriam Petche in Believe Me.

Carrie testified against Worboys in court and campaigned against his release.

Creator Jeff Pope shared insights into his research for Believe Me, including speaking with victims.

Pope spoke to the three key women, including Carrie, for the drama.

Pope spent time with Carrie at home, and she was open about her experience.

Gaining the victims' trust took time, and the reasons for the drama had to be clear.

The goal wasn't just to make entertaining TV.

The process took years, not months or weeks, to understand the story.

Carrie waived her right to anonymity to ensure Worboys wasn't released.

John Worboys is played by actor Daniel Mays in Believe Me.

Carrie shared her account with The Sunday Times, saying she will never know what happened.

Carrie hopes Believe Me will be a wake-up call to the police and authorities.

Women and girls are often failed by institutions meant to protect them.

The treatment of victims was shameful, and reform is needed, but a culture shift is more important.

Women must be treated seriously and with respect when they come forward, and justice must be done.

Believe Me will be available to watch on ITVX.
