David Carrick reportedly used his position to intimidate victims, saying no one would believe their word against a serving officer.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley speaks to the media outside New Scotland Yard, after Carrick was sentenced for life with a minimum term of 30 years for raping and sexually assaulting a dozen women over a 17-year period. Photo: AP

"I was too frightened to go to the police to lodge a complaint as had drilled it into me that ‘he was the police, he was the law and he owned me’. I was convinced the police would not believe me,” she said in a written statement. He appeared at London’s Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday as Judge Bobbie Cheema-Grubb imposed 36 life sentences, with a minimum term of 32 years minus the time he has already served.

"These women are not weak or ineffectual," she added."They were victims of your criminal mindset. The malign influence of men like you in positions of power stands in the way of a revolution of women’s dignity."Hertfordshire Police, which led the investigation into Carrick, said its inquiry was ongoing and urged anyone who thinks they have been a victim of Carrick to come forward.

The London force, which dismissed Carrick last month, repeated its apology for failing to spot his behaviour earlier.
