Met police rapist David Carrick is accused of more attacks on women as detectives ask up to 10 more people if they are prepared to give evidence in fresh trial
- Carrick, 48, admitted to 85 separate rapes and sexual assaults earlier this year
An evil Metropolitan Police rapist David Carrick has been accused of fresh sex attacks against more women, Hertfordshire Police has confirmed, as detectives ask up to ten people whether they are prepared to testify in a potential new trial.
Carrick, 48, who became one of the UK’s worst sex offenders after admitting to 85 rapes and serious sexual assaults before sentencing in February, is currently serving life with a minimum of 30 years after his offences against 12 different women.
He joined the Met in 2001 before becoming an armed officer with the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command in 2009.
The court heard he repeatedly and brutally raped his victims and engaged in violence and coercive control, including locking one women in a tiny cupboard as a punishment, strangulation, threatening victims with a gun, urinating on one victim and using women as ‘sex slaves’.
Since his trial ‘more than ten’ people have contacted police with further information or fresh allegations against the former police officer, the Guardian reports.

Sources told the paper the process is advanced enough for officers to have asked new complainants whether they would consider testifying and going to court for a potential new trial.
It is understood some of those who have made allegations of sexual offences against him would be prepared to follow them through to a new trial.
Hertfordshire Police said: ‘Following the sentencing of former Metropolitan Police Service police officer David Carrick, a number of people contacted their local force or the investigation team directly, to either report further [allegations] against him, or to pass on information about him that they felt may be useful to the team.
‘We are now working with the CPS to progress all of the new allegations where the victims wish to proceed with a criminal investigation, allowing time and providing support for them to consider their position and the implications of moving forward.’
It understood that the Angiolini Inquiry, launched by the government after the conviction of Wayne Couzens for the abduction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard, may now not be published in full until 2024 due to new alleged victims coming forward.
The court earlier this year heard harrowing details of Carrick’s depraved crimes as victims bravely spoke out about their ordeals.
One woman told how he told her he was ‘the safest person’ she could be with when he met her in order to lure her to his home in 2003, before grabbing her by the throat and holding a gun to her head before raping her.
While choking the woman he told her he was going to be the last thing she saw.
After raping the victim multiple times, he sat with her in the sitting room and talked to her ‘as if nothing had happened’.
Carrick was a serving police officer at the time of all of the offences and was working for the Met at the time of his arrest

She sustained external and internal injuries including bite marks to the neck and collar bone, bruising to the breasts, thighs, buttocks, wrists and ankles, where she had been pinned down and dragged on the floor.

She had clumps of hair missing and was bleeding in several places.
The court heard Carrick installed cameras throughout his flat so that he could monitor the women in his life around the clock, even while at work.
He would send his victims photographs of him in police uniform and holding police firearms, once doing this and writing: ‘Remember I am the boss.’
Two of the women were kept in a small cupboard under the stairs at Carrick’s home – one 10 times – while some were urinated on or attacked with a belt, the court was told.
Last month the IOPC said it is making use of a rarely-used power to look into concerns that serving officers repeatedly failed to take appropriate action when serious criminal allegations were made against Carrick.
A review that began in February found there was enough evidence to begin four separate investigations into eight officers and one staff member.
Of the eight, two have since retired and one is working in another force. The other five are still with the Met.
Responding to the move, a spokesman for the force welcomed the IOPC’s probes and said they will provide ‘every assistance’ to them.
Hertfordshire Police have been contacted for further comment.
