Met Police officer faces additional rape charges

Metropolitan Police officer David Carrick has appeared in court charged with three more counts of rape, bringing the total charges against him to 44.

The 47-year-old constable already faced 41 charges involving 11 alleged victims, including rape, coercive and controlling behaviour and sexual assault between 2003 and 2020.

Mr Carrick, who appeared at Westminster magistrates’ court yesterday, spoke only to confirm his name and age.

Shaking his head as he left the dock, he was remanded in custody until May 27 when he will appear at St Albans Crown Court on all 44 charges.
