Elite Metropolitan police officer David Carrick revealed as serial rapist
The Guardian says A Metropolitan police officer has been revealed as a serial rapist who committed more than 40 attacks, despite the force being told of repeated allegations over two decades that he was a threat to women.
PC David Carrick, an armed officer in the parliamentary and diplomatic protection command, admitted on Monday to more than 43 counts – some detailing multiple offences, against 12 women.
Police and prosecutors say he exploited his position as a Met officer to lure women, then terrorise them into staying silent about his sexual attacks and degradation of them.
The scale of offending by Carrick, 48, spanning 17 years, makes him one of the worst sexual offenders in modern criminal history.
