Serial rapist police officer David Carrick’s ‘lenient’ sentence to be reviewed

The Independent says Serial rapist and former Met Police officer David Carrick’s sentence is being reviewed after complaints it isn’t tough enough.

Carrick, 48, was on Tuesday handed 36 life sentences and told he would not be eligible for release for at least 30 years.

He was convicted of a range of offences, including dozens of rapes, while he was a serving officer.

Following the sentencing at Southwark Crown Court, the Attorney General’s Office said it had received “multiple requests” to review Carrick’s jail term.

“We can confirm we have received multiple requests relating to David Carrick’s sentence under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme,” a spokesperson said.
