David Carrick has been found guilty of sexual offences against a 12-year-old girl and raping a former partner.
Carrick, 50, was found guilty of five counts of indecent assault, two counts of rape, one of sexual assault and one of controlling or coercive behaviour.
The ex-armed officer is already serving a life sentence after being unmasked as one of the UK’s worst sex offenders when he admitted crimes against 12 women over 17 years.
He was further accused of molesting a 12-year-old girl in the late 1980s and raping a woman during the course of a toxic relationship more than 20 years later.
The Old Bailey heard he abused the young girl for 18 months before she told her mother what was going on and he confessed in a letter which was signed “Dave”.
He wrote the girl was “not crazy” and that it was “true” but that he had stopped about four months ago.
The second victim met Carrick through a dating website and said she initially found him “charming, witty, (and) sarcastic”.
But she said she was left traumatised and that Carrick had “ruined” her life after he became controlling and raped her on repeated occasions.
Carrick pleaded not guilty to two charges of rape, one of sexual assault and coercive and controlling behaviour towards the woman between 2014 and 2019, and five counts of sexual assault relating to the girl in the late 1980s.
He didn’t give evidence at his trial, but denied the allegations, claiming sex with the woman was consensual and the child accuser had lied.
The court heard the latest allegations were made after Carrick pleaded guilty to 71 instances of sexual violence against 12 different women over a period spanning 17 years.
He was sentenced to a minimum term of 32 years in prison in 2023 in a case that caused widespread public anger after it emerged repeated opportunities to stop his offending had been missed while he was serving as a police officer.
