Former Met Police officer and serial rapist David Carrick has been sentenced to more than 30 years in prison

Serial rapist and ex-Met Police officer David Carrick has been given 36 life sentences and will serve more than 30 years in prison for offences against 12 women. The 48-year-old was branded a “monster” who carried out a “catalogue of violent and brutal sex offences” against 12 women over the span of nearly two decades.

Carrick’s victims described in court how they were raped, degraded and controlled, fearing that the ex-policeman was too “ powerful” for them to report him. Carrick pleaded guilty at Southwick Crown Court to 49 charges - including 24 counts of rape.
