Metropolitan Police armed officer who used his role to put fear into his victims has admitted dozens of rape and sexual offences against 12 women.
David Carrick, aged 48, who met some victims through dating websites, pleaded guilty to 49 offences, across two decades.
The Metropolitan Police Officer has apologised after it emerged he had come to the attention of police over nine incidents, including rape allegations, between 2000 and 2021.
A senior officer said his offending was “unprecedented in policing”.
Carrick, who admitted 24 counts of rape, was suspended from duty when he was arrested in October 2021.
His offences spanned 2003 to 2020 and most took place in Hertfordshire, where he lived.
