Overview
- A jury found Carrick guilty of two rapes, one sexual assault, coercive and controlling behaviour, and five indecent assaults after about five hours of deliberation.
- The offences include molesting a 12-year-old girl in the late 1980s and repeated rapes of a former partner between 2014 and 2019.
- Prosecutors relied on a written confession dated August 29, 1990 and recovered from Carrick’s medical records, which admitted the abuse of the child.
- Carrick is already serving 36 life sentences imposed in 2023 with a minimum term of 32 years for 71 sexual offences, including 48 rapes.
- Hertfordshire Police and the CPS praised the victims’ courage and urged others to come forward, as reviews of earlier missed opportunities involving the former Met officer continue; reporting indicates the sentencing judge may consider extending his minimum term.
