"There was absolutely no need for you to give Carrick a lift home because his welfare officer was there. The reality is, they could have made their own way back to David Carrick's house, but this was an example of you showing preferential treatment to David Carrick over the complainant at a very early stage."
"Carrick, 51, is one of the UK's most prolific sex offenders. In 2023, he was given 36 life sentences for attacks on more than a dozen women. In July 2021, he was arrested after a woman reported that he had raped her multiple times during their five-month relationship."
"My concern was that a welfare officer was not at Stevenage, no transport all I wanted to do was to get him (Carrick) home, get him to an address to return back to Stevenage police station (later)."
David Carrick, a 51-year-old former armed Metropolitan Police officer, was arrested in July 2021 on suspicion of rape. He was later convicted in 2023 and given 36 life sentences for attacks on more than a dozen women, making him one of the UK's most prolific sex offenders. During a misconduct hearing, Detective Sergeant Ray Mackennon was accused of showing Carrick preferential treatment by driving him home from Stevenage police station following his arrest. Mackennon, who worked in the Directorate of Professional Standards, claimed he provided the lift because the welfare officer lacked transport. However, the Met's legal representative argued this constituted preferential treatment toward Carrick over the complainant at an early investigation stage.
