Read our privacy policy Police have received more calls about serial rapist PC David Carrick after his 17-year campaign of sexual offences and domestic abuse was finally revealed with his guilty pleas. “If you believe you may be a victim of sexual violence committed by David Carrick then police are asking you to contact them.” The Metropolitan Police said that it would refer any further allegations it receives to Hertfordshire Constabulary, which continues to lead on the criminal case. “We will not be providing a running commentary on the number of or nature of calls received in relation to this case.” The first woman to report that she had been raped by Carrick came forward as a result of the murder of Sarah Everard, by another serving Metropolitan Police officer, in 2021. He was allowed to remain a police officer for 20 years despite involvement in at least nine incidents, including domestic abuse and violence, as he was never prosecuted and Scotland Yard repeatedly decided Carrick had “no case to answer” for disciplinary proceedings.
