"Hertfordshire Police A "predatory and controlling" former police officer is accused of repeatedly molesting a girl and raping a woman, a court has heard. David Carrick, 50, from Stevenage, is said to have carried out the offences against the girl in the late 1980s, when she was aged between 12 and 14 and he was still a teenager. More than 20 years later, he raped a woman "on a number of occasions" as part of their "toxic relationship" and subjected her to a sex act which she did not consent to, jurors at the Old Bailey were told."
"Opening Mr Carrick's trial on Tuesday, Mr Little said: "This case that you are now trying is primarily about sexual offending committed many years apart by this defendant. "But in respect of all the offending, whenever it was committed, the defendant was, we say, very predatory and controlling. "This was not isolated offending but part of a pattern which the defendant perpetrated over many years.""
"Mr Little added: "It is also relevant for you to know that he was at the time of that relationship, as he was for many years, a Metropolitan Police officer.""
