Former Met Police officer and serial rapist David Carrick has been handed another life sentence after he was found guilty of more sex offences.
Carrick was sentenced at the Old Bailey after being convicted of molesting a 12-year-old girl and raping a former partner.
The 50-year-old was convicted of five counts of indecent assault, two counts of rape, one of sexual assault and one of controlling or coercive behaviour.
On Thursday, Mrs Justice McGowan handed Carrick another life sentence with a minimum term of 30 years to run concurrently.
The ex-armed officer is already serving 36 life sentences after being unmasked as one of the UK's worst sex offenders when he admitted crimes against 12 women over 17 years.
In this trial, 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.
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.
The offences came to light after he pleaded guilty in 2022 and 2023 to 71 sexual offences, including 48 rapes, against 12 other women over 17 years.
He joined the Met Police in 2001 before becoming an armed officer in the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection unit in 2009.
