A Metropolitan Police officer accused of a series of sex attacks against women has been charged with 12 further offences, bringing the total number of alleged victims to 11.

David Carrick, 47, previously faced 29 charges against eight alleged victims, including rape, coercive and controlling behaviour and sexual assault.

He was charged with a further 12 offences on Wednesday, bringing the total number to 41, the Metropolitan Police and Crown Prosecution Service said.

The new charges, which cover two counts of rape, one count of attempted rape, and two counts of assault by penetration, relate to three new alleged victims and are alleged to have taken place between 2003 and 2015.

The CPS said new charges also include three counts of rape and four counts of sexual assault relating to one alleged victim already a part of the prosecution, with these new offences alleged to have taken place between 2018 and 2020.

He is due to appear via video link at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday March 21.

He has already appeared in court to deny earlier charges.
