He pleaded guilty to 49 offences against 12 women including 24 counts of rape and further counts of controlling and coercive behaviour, sexual assault and false imprisonment.

He was sacked from the Metropolitan Police Service last month.

Carrick was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday, 7 February following a two day hearing.

David Carrick had pleaded guilty to 49 crimes against 12 women in the latest case to cast a harsh spotlight on the Metropolitan Police.

A London police officer was sentenced on Tuesday to life in prison for violence against 12 women over a 17-year period, a series of attacks in which a judge said he took “monstrous advantage” of his victims as he abused his power as a police officer.

The case of the officer, David Carrick, is the latest in a series of harrowing episodes of violence against women that have led to calls for serious change at the Metropolitan Police, the force that covers London. The service has been accused of allowing a culture of misogyny to thrive and of failing to address violence against women and girls by members of its ranks.

In one of the most disturbing episodes, in 2021, a serving London police officer, Wayne Couzens, was sentenced to life in prison for the abduction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard, a case that prompted national soul-searching and ignited calls for reforms.

Mr. Carrick, 48, was sentenced in Southwark Criminal Court in London on Tuesday afternoon after a two-day hearing. Before handing down the sentence, Judge Bobbie Cheema-Grubb described how Mr. Carrick “took monstrous advantage of women” he was in a relationship with and “brazenly raped them.”Mr. Carrick, pictured in an undated police handout photo.

Mr. Carrick was sentenced to life and must serve a minimum of 30 years and 239 days in prison.

“You behaved as if you were untouchable,” the judge told Mr. Carrick, adding that he had carried out a series of attacks that began almost immediately after he became a police officer, and she noted that he had referred to his job repeatedly while assaulting his victims.

Mr. Carrick pleaded guilty last month to 49 charges of crimes against 12 women from 2003 to 2020, including 24 counts of rape, numerous charges of sexual assault, controlling and coercive behavior, and false imprisonment.

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said:

” David Carrick’s crimes were unspeakably evil. The detail is harrowing.

“He subjected these victims and survivors to the most degrading and inhumane treatment and yet they still showed the courage to come forward and to provide the evidence that led to his conviction.

“He exploited his position as a police officer in the most disgusting way. He should not have been a police officer. We weren’t rigorous enough in our approach and as a result we missed opportunities to identify the warning signs over decades. I want to again reiterate my apology on behalf of the Met. We are truly sorry.

“I recognise that as a result of this case and other prominent recent cases, there are women whose trust in the police is profoundly shaken.

“I and tens of thousands of officers and staff in the Met are horrified by this man’s crimes and recognise this will shake Londoners trust too.

“We have let down women across London but we are more determined than ever to put it right.

“I have been clear, we will rid the Met of those who corrupt our integrity by bringing the same intensive investigative approach to identifying wrongdoing in our own ranks as we do to identifying criminals in the community. Some other police services are starting to confront similar issues.

“Addressing systemic failures will take time, but we will be determined and relentless in rooting out the corrupt. Lifting the stone and confronting what we find beneath, will result in more difficult cases coming to light. We need the support of Londoners to get through it.

“This is not the time for me to lay out in detail the actions we are taking to root out those who corrupt our integrity. Today is about the victims’ fight for justice.

“On 31^st March, we will be sharing the progress we have made on rooting out those who corrupt our integrity. We will earn back the trust and confidence of women and give Londoners the police service they deserve.”
