‘A monster’: Women tell in court how they were raped, controlled and degraded by ‘evil’ Met Police officer

Women have described in court how they were violently raped, controlled and degraded by an “evil” Metropolitan Police officer who they feared was too “powerful” to be reported for his crimes.

David Carrick was branded a “monster” who carried out a “catalogue of violent and brutal sexual offences” when he appeared at London’s Southwark Crown Court, where he is being sentenced for dozens of crimes against 12 women.

The 48-year-old has previously pleaded guilty to 49 charges – including 24 counts of rape – after he was unmasked as one of Britain’s most prolific sex offenders last month.

The court heard that Carrick held a gun to the head of one woman before repeatedly raping her and threatened to use his police baton on another victim.

He also sent one of his victims a photograph of himself with a work-issue firearm, saying: “Remember I am the boss.”

Prosecutor Tom Little KC said Carrick – who was sacked by the Met Police after his guilty pleas – should face a life sentence for his crimes but the case “falls short of meriting” a whole-life order.

He said Carrick’s offences over a 17-year period increased in “frequency” and in “the level of humiliation being inflicted”.

“The reality was that it did not matter who the victim was… he would rape them, sexually abuse/assault them and humiliate them,” the prosecutor said.
