A serving London police officer has admitted carrying out 24 counts of rape in a near two decade-long campaign of abuse against women, making him one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders
The Metropolitan Police and the country's prosecution service said David Carrick, 48, had used his position of power to control and intimidate his victims, telling them no one would believe their word against that of a serving officer.
"This is an appalling case and the prime minister's thoughts are with all of his victims," Mr Sunak's spokesman said. Carrick, who joined the Met in 2001, isolated women socially and financially, and often held them against their will, controlling what they wore and when they slept.London's Metropolitan Police was placed in"special measures" last year after it was beset by revelations of a culture of bullying, racial discrimination and misogyny among some of its officers.
