A disgraced former police officer raped two women in Wiltshire, it has been confirmed.

David Carrick, who worked as an authorised firearms officer for the Met Police, pleaded guilty to 49 charges – including 24 counts of rape – relating to a dozen victims.

The now 48-year-old admitted the string of heinous crimes at Southwark Crown Court on 13 December 2022 and could now face an entire lifetime behind bars.

Four of the 71 offences related to two victims being attacked in Salisbury.

One woman was sexually assaulted by penetration in a rape attempt between 28 August and 1 September 2009. The other was raped in the city on 15 November 2015.

Crown prosecutor Shilpa Shah said: “With a vast number of charges for rape and serious sexual assault, as well as victims spanning a 17-year-period, this is one of the most significant cases the Crown Prosecution Service has dealt with.

“It was harrowing seeing how victims were relentlessly manipulated; they were financially cut off and isolated from their friends and family and repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted. Carrick took so much from them both physically and mentally.

“It didn’t matter to Carrick who the victim was – a new girlfriend, a partner, a friend or a stranger – he would still abuse them.

“Although the names of the women who showed tremendous courage in overcoming this manipulation to report these abhorrent crimes won’t ever be made public, they need to be commended, and I want to thank them for coming forward and providing the evidence we needed to secure today’s conviction and end Carrick’s offending.”

Carrick was remanded in custody and is due to be sentenced on 6 February.
