David Carrick, ex-Met officer, is guilty of more sexual offences

He is due to be sentenced this afternoon. The court has risen for a short break.
Carrick, wearing a suit and tie, was joined by four prison officers in the dock.
He shook his head repeatedly in the dock as the verdicts were read out.
The jury deliberated for five hours before finding him unanimously guilty of the following offences:
-
Five counts of indecent assault against a girl under 16 between April 1989 and August 1990
-
Two counts of rape against a woman, once between December 2014 and April 2016 then between January and December 2019
-
Sexual assault against the same woman between January and December 2019
-
Coercive and controlling behaviour in relation to the same woman between 2016 and 2019
Hertfordshire Police praised the victims for their bravery and urged any more to come forward.
During the trial, jurors heard how Carrick had abused a young girl for around 18 months before she told her mother what was going on.
He confessed in a letter which was recovered from his medical records and signed “Dave”.
