David Carrick has gone down in history as one of the worst sex offenders ever. Like Wayne Couzens, who was jailed for life for the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard, Carrick was a serving Metropolitan Police officer, who abused his power to commit crimes.
Last week, our columnist Nicola Methven touched upon how nine times he could have been stopped after complaints were filed and ‘investigated’. But time and time again his victims were failed. We speak to one woman who suffered years of abuse at Carrick’s hands, which could have been avoided had he been stopped sooner.
