"He confessed in a letter, which was recovered from his medical records and was signed Dave. In it, Carrick wrote that the girl was not crazy and that it was true but that he had stopped about four months earlier. He wrote: I know how [the girl] must feel. That's why I stopped and promised I would never go near her again and I have kept that promise and I always will."
"A jury deliberated for five hours to find him guilty of two charges of rape, one of sexual assault and coercive and controlling behaviour towards the woman between 2014 and 2019. The defendant, formerly of Stevenage in Hertfordshire, was found guilty of five counts of indecent assault relating to the girl in the late 1980s. After the verdict, Hertfordshire police praised the victims' bravery and urged any more victims of the sexual offender to come forward."
David Carrick, 50, served as an armed Metropolitan police officer and committed a pattern of sexual offending over 35 years. He sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl in the late 1980s and later repeatedly raped and degraded a former partner between 2014 and 2019. He previously pleaded guilty to 71 sexual offences, including 48 rapes against 12 women across 17 years, and received 36 life sentences with a minimum term of 32 years. A jury found him guilty of two additional rapes, sexual assault and coercive and controlling behaviour, and five counts of indecent assault relating to the girl. Police praised victims' bravery and urged other victims to come forward.
