Ex-Met Police officer David Carrick was already serving multiple life sentences after admitting sex offences in court in 2022 and 2023
Serial rapist and former Metropolitan Police officer David Carrick has been found guilty of sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl and a former partner.
The 50-year-old, who has already been jailed for life, has been convicted of molesting the girl in the late-1990s and raping the woman during a relationship more than 20 years later.
Jurors at the Old Bailey found him guilty of nine offences and he is due to be sentenced on Thursday.
Carrick, from Stevenage, is already serving a minimum term of 32 years in prison, having admitted 71 offences of sexual violence committed over a 17-year period.
Carrick, wearing a suit and tie, was joined by four prison officers in the dock.
He shook his head repeatedly in the dock as the verdicts were read out.
The jury deliberated for five hours before finding him unanimously guilty of the following offences:
Five counts of indecent assault against a girl under 16 between April 1989 and August 1990Two counts of rape against a woman, once between December 2014 and April 2016 then between January and December 2019 Sexual assault against the same woman between January and December 2019Coercive and controlling behaviour in relation to the same woman between 2016 and 2019
Carrick was tried at the Old Bailey in London
Lawyer Shilpa Shah, who led both prosecutions by the Crown Prosecution Service against Carrick, has issued a statement about the latest court case.
“It was clear from the compelling testimonies given by these women that they had endured relentless abuse to which they did not consent,” she said.
“One victim was a child when she was indecently assaulted and another was sexually abused by him while he served as a senior police officer.
“These factors made it vital to prosecute him a second time – not only because of the severity of the crimes and the public interest arising from him being a police officer when he committed some of them, but also to show the full extent of his offending which spanned decades.”
Hertfordshire Police praised the victims for their bravery and urged any more to come forward.
During the trial, jurors heard how Carrick had abused a young girl for about 18 months before she told her mother what was going on.
Carrick confessed to that abuse in a letter which was recovered from his medical records and signed “Dave”.
