These images show serial police rapist David Carrick's lair where he kept victims in the cupboard and had cameras installed to watch them.
Carrick, 48, was unmasked as one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders after he admitted to 24 counts of rape as well as charges of sexual assault, controlling and coercive behaviour and false imprisonment. He sentencing is being concluded today.
Carrick's crimes were all carried out while serving with the force - he guarded sites including embassies and the Houses of Parliament, and completed training courses, including one on domestic abuse in 2005.
Images released yesterday showed a tiny cupboard under the stairs where victims said they were locked under there naked.
Prosecutor Tom Little KC told Southwark Crown Court yesterday how Carrick shut one of his victims in a small cupboard as a punishment while "whistling at her as if she was a dog".
Continuing his opening, he said: "If (the victim) upset the defendant, she would be punished, sometimes by acts of violence and on other occasions, she was shut in a small cupboard under the stairs.
"This occurred on a significant number of occasions.
"On one occasion she asked to get out as she was having a panic attack. He would not let her out.
"They did not communicate whilst she was sat in the cupboard - he would stand outside and whistle at her as if she was a dog."
Other images show multiple cameras installed in the house as the victim said he watched them while he was out.
One said he would use the cameras to control when she slept and also shouted insults from the microphone while he was on duty.
Yesterday, the court heard extremely distressing details of Carrick's campaign of abuse against the victims.
One victim said she felt she had "encountered evil" that night Carrick attacked her and feared she was going to be killed.
Carrick told one of his victims he was “the safest person that she could be with” before he raped her.
Mr Little said Carrick held a black handgun to a victim’s head before telling her “you are not going” as he raped her.
Other women said they feared they would not be believed if they reported Carrick and no longer trusted the police after what he had done to them.
Serial rapist Carrick told one victim he would be the “last thing she saw” as he put his hands around her throat.
One victim was raped by Carrick while her parents slept in the tent next to them on a camping trip, Mr Little said.
After Carrick pleaded guilty it later emerged that the Met was informed of nine incidents - including allegations of rape, domestic violence and harassment - between 2000 and 2021.
Carrick faces no criminal sanctions or misconduct findings.
Alisdair Williamson KC, defending, said Carrick "accepts fully responsibility for what he has done" and that it is likely any life sentence will "bring him close to, if not to, the close of his natural life".
Police chiefs across England and Wales have since been asked to have all officers checked against national police databases by the end of March.
Carrick, who served in the Army before joining the Met, admitted 49 criminal charges, but some of the attacks are multiple incident counts, meaning they relate to more than 80 sexual offences, including at least 48 rapes against 12 women.
He denied a further count of rape in September 2020 relating to a 13th woman, whose allegation triggered the investigation, and the Crown Prosecution Service decided it was not in the public interest to proceed to trial on the charge.
The Met was forced to apologise and admit Carrick should have been rooted out earlier after it emerged he came to police attention over nine incidents - including allegations of rape, domestic violence and harassment - between 2000 and 2021, with all but one of the incidents relating to his behaviour towards women.
Carrick faced no criminal sanctions or misconduct findings and police chiefs across England and Wales have since been asked to have all officers checked against national police databases by the end of March.
He was finally sacked from the force last month after pleading guilty and being unmasked as one of the country's most prolific sex offenders.
Carrick's crimes are set to form part of the independent inquiry looking at the murder of Sarah Everard, who was raped and strangled by then-serving Met officer Wayne Couzens in March 2021.
