A suspended Metropolitan Police officer is charged with a string of sexual offences, some of which allegedly took place in Salisbury.

David Carrick, 47, from Stevenage, Hertfordshire has been accused of 41 charges against a total of 11 women.

These include four alleged sex attacks in Salisbury between 2009 and 2015.

He is facing two charges of sexual assaults, one charge of attempted rape, and one rape charge, all involving women, that allegedly took place in the city.

The Salisbury rape charge allegedly took place on November 7 2015, and the other incidents between August 28 and September 1 2009.

Carrick is also accused of similar offences in Stevenage and Tooting.

The constable already faced 29 charges against eight alleged victims - including rape, coercive and controlling behaviour and sexual assault - between 2009 and 2020.

On Monday March 21, Carrick appeared in Westminster Magistrates Court by video link.

He appeared from custody in Belmarsh Prison, wearing grey prison clothes.

He has denied all charges.

Carrick was arrested by Hertfordshire Constabulary in October, accused of raping a woman he met on the dating app Tinder, and suspended by the Met.

He was previously attached to the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command.

The Met said: “We recognise that these are extremely serious and concerning allegations. Referrals have been made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct as the investigation has progressed.”
