David Carrick: Rapist ex-Met Police officer found guilty of sexually abusing 12-year-old girl

The predatory former police officer David Carrick has been found guilty of molesting a 12-year-old girl and raping a former partner.

Carrick, 50, held his hand over the mouth of the girl to “prevent her screaming” as he indecently assaulted her in the late 1980s, a trial at the Old Bailey heard.

More than 20 years later, the former Met Police officer repeatedly raped a woman and subjected her to “degrading and humiliating” abuse during the course of a toxic relationship.

A serial sex offender, Carrick pleaded guilty in 2022 and 2023 to 71 sexual offences, including 48 rapes, against 12 women over 17 years and is already serving a minimum of 31 years. Following these convictions, the girl and the woman came forward to accuse Carrick of further offences.

On Wednesday, he was convicted of a further two charges of rape, one of sexual assault and coercive and controlling behaviour towards the woman between 2014 and 2019.
