David Carrick has pleaded guilty to 49 offences, including 24 counts of rape, against 12 women between 2003 and 2020 (Hertfordshire Police/PA)
(Picture: PA Media)That started well, didn’t it? Barely three weeks into the new year and yet another example of misogyny in the Metropolitan police.
I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to think there isn’t just ‘one bad apple’ in the force, as former commissioner Cressida Dick claimed after the murder of Sarah Everard. It’s almost like there’s a culture of misogyny that has been allowed to flourish, unchecked, and means that David Carrick could get away with committing 49 sex crimes (including 24 rapes) against 12 women for almost 20 years, using his position as a serving officer to help him do so. And they’re just the victims we know about.
