The Metropolitan Police has said it is “truly sorry” for failing to act sooner as one of its serving officers admitted a string of sexual offences and rapes against a dozen women over an 18-year period.
David Carrick, 48, had come to the attention of police over nine incidents, including allegations of rape, domestic violence and harassment, between 2000 and 2021 but was able to continue working because the force failed to spot his pattern of offending.
