A detective tells BBC News how the former police officer and serial rapist was finally stopped.
By June Kelly, Judith Burns and Claire EllisonSerial rapist and former police officer David Carrick has been given 36 life sentences and will serve more than 30 years in prison, for crimes spanning almost two decades. The detective who ran the investigation tells BBC News how, after earlier police failures, his team of officers finally brought Carrick to justice.
Once Carrick, who lived in Stevenage but grew up in Wiltshire, was finally charged, DCI Moor says he "thought there's got to be something else out there." And there was.The investigation quickly snowballed, he says. Carrick's name was reported in the media following his first court appearance, after which calls started coming in from other women he had raped and abused over many years.
It has emerged how Carrick had come to the attention of the Met, as well as three other forces, nine times over the years - but none of the complaints and investigations resulted in charges. Dozens of officers were drafted into the investigation and one of the major challenges, he says, was gathering evidence of crimes going back so many years.
"We worked on a plan, which was to build such a powerful case that, ideally, none of our victims would have to give evidence at trial. Obviously, it succeeded," says Mr Burt.
