‘Dangerous’ sexual predator David Carrick jailed for life for further abuse offences

Serial sex offender and former police officer David Carrick has been handed his 37th life sentence with a minimum term of 30 years for molesting a 12-year-old girl and raping a former partner.

Carrick, 50, was convicted on Wednesday of a “horrific” pattern of offending spanning 30 years. The trial at the Old Bailey heard how his “aggressive and violent” behaviour “escalated” after he abused the girl in the 1980s, going on to subject a woman “degrading and humiliating abuse” more than 20 years later.
