A former London police officer was jailed for more than 30 years for an ‘unrestrained campaign of rape and abuse of women’ over nearly two decades, in the latest scandal to hit Britain's biggest police force
to 49 charges relating to 12 victims between 2003 and 2020, making him one of Britain’s most prolific sex offenders.
"Behind a public appearance of propriety and trustworthiness, you took monstrous advantage of women drawn into intimate relationships with you," Cheema-Grubb told Carrick who sat impassively in the dock. "These women are not weak or ineffectual," she added. "They were victims of your criminal mindset. The malign influence of men like you in positions of power stands in the way of a revolution of women’s dignity."An undated handout image shows London police officer David Carrick.

An inquiry set up last year to examine the 2021 rape and murder of Sarah Everard by another serving Met officer will now also look into Carrick’s case to see if any red flags were missed and whether colleagues had any inkling of his offending. "David Carrick’s crimes were unspeakably evil," Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said in a statement.
