David Carrick, who worked for an elite armed unit in London’s Metropolitan Police, admitted 49 offences, including 24 rapes, against 12 women over 18 yearsA police officer with London’s Metropolitan Police has admitted carrying out dozens of rapes and sexual offences against 12 women over a period of almost 20 years. David Carrick pleaded guilty to 49 offences including 24 counts of rape, nine counts of sexual assault and five counts of assault by penetration. The 48-year-old, who up until his suspension and arrest in October 2021 worked in an elite armed unit tasked with guarding embassies and Parliament, now stands as one of the worst serial rapists in modern criminal history in the UK. And this is despite the Metropolitan Police being told of repeated allegations throughout his career. On Monday the 16th of January Carrick appeared at London’s Southwark Crown Court, where he pleaded guilty to a string of offences, including four counts of rape, false imprisonment and indecent assault relating to a 40-year-old woman in 2003.  It can now be revealed that he had already admitted 43 other charges, including 20 counts of rape, in December.
