The first victim of Met Police rapist David Carrick to publicly reveal her identity has called for him to be sentenced for decades after he admitted dozens of terrifying attacks on women.
Darciane Nunes Da Silva has chosen to waive her anonymity to encourage other victims, whom she is convinced are out there, to come forward. Armed cop Carrick, 48, is now one of the country's worst known sex offenders after he pleaded guilty to 48 rapes on 12 women, including 43-year-old Darciane, over the course of two decades.
The Mirror reports that she hopes he gets "40 years in jail" to make up for the hurt and terror he inflicted on his victims. Among the vicious attacks he carried out on Darciane, Carrick: strangled and slapped her; controlled what she ate, when she slept and when she could use her phone; spied on her with hidden cameras; and punished her for "disobedience", including releasing his pet snakes to terrify her.
