David Carrick

Court hears details of ordeal endured by victims of former Met police officer who carried out catalogue of 'brutal sexual offending'

She bit his arm and he put his hand behind the bed. Little said the rape was prolonged and included explicit threats: “It carried on for some time. The woman was 20 and was on an evening out with friends in a London bar when she met Carrick. Little said: “The defendant told [the woman] that he was the safest person that she could be with and that he was a police officer.” He would say ‘who do you belong to?’ and she had to answer to him saying that it was him.” Indeed, in her [victim impact statement] the daughter makes clear that this was not the only occasion that she had heard and was aware of her mother being raped by the defendant.” The court heard he seemed to gain “pleasure” from the sounds of his victims suffering. However, the defendant just carried on and would not stop. Carrick also had a camera system at the home where he and the woman lived. After meeting on a dating app, on which Carrick said he would pay her £1,000 a month to be his “slut”, she moved in with him. He would call her ‘his whore’ and ‘his prostitute’. One woman was attacked between 2017 – the year the Met vetted Carrick as fit to serve – and 2019.

“We let them down and we failed to identify a man in the ranks of the Metropolitan Police Service who carried out the most awful offences. Ms Gray added: “In the weeks since he pleaded guilty, we have spoken about our genuine and urgent commitment to address the systemic failings that have been identified by our own reviews, by those of His Majesty’s Inspectorate and Baroness Casey. On Sunday, the Met’s Assistant Commissioner repeated the apology to Carrick’s victims, saying the force “let them down” and the sex predator “should not have been a police officer”. He denied a further count of rape in September 2020 relating to a 13th woman, whose allegation triggered the investigation, and the Crown Prosecution Service decided it was not in the public interest to proceed to trial on the charge. Carrick’s offences also include two counts of attempted rape, one count of attempted sexual assault by penetration, one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent, and one count of indecent assault. The “truly sickening” crimes of David Carrick forced the Met to apologise after the then-serving officer admitted 24 counts of rape, as well as charges of sexual assault, controlling and coercive behaviour and false imprisonment.

This is the tiny cupboard under the stairs where PC David Carrick locked up one of his victims while she was naked and terrified.

“He was cross so she ran into another room, he followed her with the whip and started whipping her. “She cleaned the house on a weekly basis. “She made herself calm down and he let her out. On one occasion she asked to get out as she was having a panic attack. He said to her that he had not told her to order anything. “Every time this occurred she was made to strip naked.

Former Met Police officer David Carrick is being sentenced for dozens of rape and sexual offences.

"It did not matter who the victim was... The court heard Carrick would call her his "slave" and when he asked her to clean his house naked she was "scared" because he was a police officer. Mr Little said the woman attended hospital with her injuries. Another woman said Carrick hit her with a whip and would shut her in a small cupboard as punishment while "whistling at her as if she was a dog", the court heard. After stating a police officer had raped her, a nurse said "it might not go to court" and that "she might be better to try to put it behind her and move on". Opening the case, prosecutor Tom Little KC said 48-year-old Carrick told a woman he met in a London bar in 2003 "he was the safest person that she could be with and that he was a police officer" before taking her back to his nearby flat.

Carrick, who joined the Met in 2001, is expected to be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday.

Mr Little said a search of Carrick’s electronic devices revealed searches for pornography including words such as “extreme” and “painful”. Prosecutor Tom Little KC said the “systematic” offending was “catalogue of violent and brutal sexual offences”. He sent one of his victims a photograph of himself with a police-issue gun, saying: “Remember I am the boss.”

Serial rapist former Met police officer sentenced after pleading guilty to 49 charges involving offences against 12 women.

By coming forward they have helped to protect the public and rid the Met police of a dangerous and prolific offender who abused his position as a police officer in the worst possible way. There can be no hiding place for those who abuse their position of trust and authority within the police. The malign influence of men like you in positions of power stands in the way of a revolution of women’s dignity. The next Labour government will change the law to make national rules on police vetting, misconduct and training mandatory for every police force. There is powerful and compelling evidence of irretrievable devastation in the lives of those you abused. We cannot undo the pain they have endured, but we hope this can be a first step to rebuilding their lives knowing he can’t harm them – or any other woman – again. We would not be where we are today without you, the victims, taking that step forward and providing us with the vital evidence needed to prosecute Carrick. He exploited his position as a police officer in the most disgusting way. On 31 March, we will be sharing the progress we have made on rooting out those who corrupt our integrity. The malign influence of men like you in positions of power stands in the way of a revolution of women’s dignity,” she said. Addressing systemic failures will take time, but we will be determined and relentless in rooting out the corrupt. Farah Nazeer, the chief executive of Women’s Aid, told the BBC the sentencing came “17 years, 12 victims and at least and 85 offences too late”.

Carrick told one woman he met in a London bar in 2003 “he was the safest person that she could be with and that he was a police officer” before taking her back to his nearby flat, Mr Little said.

One said he would use the cameras to control when she slept and also shouted insults from the microphone while he was on duty. "They did not communicate whilst she was sat in the cupboard - he would stand outside and whistle at her as if she was a dog." He sentencing is being concluded today.

The force's Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, "As a serving police officer he has brought shame on the profession and was not fit to wear the uniform, but I hope that our determination to get justice for the victims in this case, will go some way to reassuring the public that nobody is above the law and we will bring people like David Carrick to justice."
