Serial rapist police officer David Carrick jailed for 30 years for 'monstrous' crimes against women
Rapist police officer David Carrick, one of the UK's most prolific sex offenders, has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 30 years and 239 days.
Deducting the number of days he had spent in custody from his minimum term on Tuesday, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb told the defendant: “These convictions represent a spectacular downfall for a man charged with upholding the law and empowered to do so even to the extent of being authorised to bear a firearm in the execution of his duty.” Carrick was handed 36 life sentences, with a minimum term of 32 years – minus his time spent on remand.
Continuing her sentencing remarks, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb told David Carrick he showed an “astonishing degree of moral corruption”. She also highlighted the “reluctance of victims to report your offending” because of their knowledge of his “status as a police officer”. The court also heard that Carrick had attempted to kill himself while on remand at Belmarsh prison and was detained in a secure hospital but was found not to be suffering from any mental disorder. Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb told him: “You were driven to try to commit suicide as a self-pitying reaction to the shame brought on you by these proceedings rather than remorse.”
