NEWS STORY : Metropolitan Police Condemn Actions of Serving Officer David Carrick
STORY
The Metropolitan Police have condemned the actions of David Carrick, a serving police officer, who has admitted a number of rape and sexual allegations. Assistant Commissioner Barbara Gray, the Met’s lead for Professionalism, said:
“On behalf of the Metropolitan Police, I want to apologise to the women who have suffered at the hands of David Carrick. I commend their outstanding bravery in coming forward and reporting the horrific crimes they were victims of. Carrick is a prolific, serial sex offender who preyed on women over a period of many years, abusing his position as a police officer and committing the most horrific, degrading crimes”.
Ruth Davison, from the Refuge charity which helps those who have suffered from domestic violence, said:
“What happens next must change the culture of policing for good. A force which breeds a culture of violent misogyny is not a force which can even begin to protect women and girls”.
