Police officer revealed as most prolific serial rapist in UK
PC David Carrick, an armed officer who served with the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command and worked on the parliamentary estate, admitted to offences spanning 17 years and involving 12 women, although police believe there are many more victims.
According to the Independent today, January 16, 2023, the former police officer pleaded guilty to 49 offences, including 24 counts of rape, between 2003 and 2020, and will be sentenced over two days from February 6, 2023.
Carrick, 48, from Hertfordshire, used his position as a police officer to gain the trust of his victims before seeking to control, manipulate, abuse and rape them. He told his victims that it would be “their word against his” suggesting they wouldn’t be believed if they spoke up.
UK police failed to act
Metropolitan Police has admitted errors in failing to spot Carrick’s escalating danger during his 20 years of service.
And, according to The Guardian, Britain’s biggest police force was told about nine incidents from 2000 to 2021, including eight alleged attacks or clashes Carrick had with women before the arrest that led to his convictions.
No action was taken, with the women either refusing to formally complain or withdrawing their cooperation from the police investigation.
Alarm bells also failed to ring within the force, which promoted Carrick in 2009 from patrolling the streets to being a member of an elite armed unit, the parliamentary and diplomatic protection command, guarding embassies, Downing Street and the Houses of Parliament.
Public trust affected
Downing Street said the government understands that public trust in the police has been affected by cases like Pc David Carrick.
The prime minister's official spokesman said: “Certainly we're in no doubt that the public's trust has been affected by some of these high-profile cases.
One victim told officers that Carrick regularly urinated on her and forced her to drink his urine, while another victim said he whipped her with a belt and sexually assaulted her with sex toys.
Detectives emphasised that Carrick used coercive behaviour to isolate his victims and control what they wore, ate and where they slept. According to interviews and phone evidence from victims, Carrick forced his victims to clean his home naked and controlled the most minute details of their lives including how much of an apple they could eat and how long they could sleep.

How does this affect the allegations of human trafficking leveled against present and former public officials in high places on this little rock?
It is called "gaslighting": putting up a smokescreen to try and divert attention to the real issues at hand. Some of us are bright enough to see through this ruse.
Next!!!!
Mark collin came from the same corrupt UK police institution. Funny thing he here now as a savior and all his cheap talks about integrity, big talk about corruption. Who he think he fooling. Ask our good police officers how corrupt and dishonest ************** is.
Come on VINO. Tell us how the Premier will address removing the Order in Council to suspend our Constitution when he travels to the UK.
I heard him tell Zan Lewis that the matter didn’t come up in his last meeting in the UK, although he had said that it would. I personally don’t have the confidence that it will be brought up this time either. The Premier fully well knows that such a matter needs to be addressed by the Governor to the UK powers. But let’s hear what the Premier will tell us when he returns.
Unlike the VI where he would be overlooked or hidden unidentified and definitely no photo
Lame explanation would be ...No identity of perpetrator in order to protect the victim. Good job Scotland Yard ! Bvi needs your skills and diligence and seriousness .
I hope people can ignore these distractions, though the blogs are a little worrying ...
