A serving Metropolitan Police officer carried out sex attacks on a dozen women over an 18-year period, including locking some of his victims in a cupboard under the stairs.
The force has apologised to victims after it emerged PC 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.
Carrick, who joined the Met in 2001 before becoming an armed officer with the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command in 2009, faced no criminal sanctions or misconduct findings, and was only suspended after being arrested over a second rape complaint in October 2021.
