A watchdog has launched multiple investigations into the Metropolitan Police’s handling of serial rapist and former officer David Carrick.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating whether Met Police officers repeatedly failed to take appropriate action when criminal allegations were made against Carrick, who was handed 36 life sentences, with a minimum term of 32 years – minus his time spent on remand – in February after becoming one of the country’s worst ever sex offenders.
