TOP STORY: UK police officer pleads guilty to multiple sexual offences — including 24 counts of rape | TheCable
Photo: The Guardian UKDavid Carrick, an officer with the United Kingdom’s Metropolitan Police, has admitted to committing dozens of sexual offences — including rape.While condemning the officer’s conduct, the police said he has been remanded in custody.
“He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at a hearing to take place at Southwark Crown Court beginning on Monday, 6 February.”Mark Rowley, the police commissioner, apologised to Carrick’s victims, adding that the force failed in its responsibility to protect the public. “We have failed. And I’m sorry. He should not have been a police officer. We haven’t applied the same sense of ruthlessness to guarding our own integrity that we routinely apply to confronting criminals.
“I do know an apology doesn’t go far enough, but I do think it’s important to acknowledge our failings and for me to say I’m sorry. I apologise to all of David Carrick’s victims. And I also want to say sorry to all of the women across London who feel we’ve let them down.”
