A Metropolitan Police officer has been charged with committing six more rapes after new alleged victims came forward.
David Carrick, 47, had previously been charged with 20 offences, including seven counts of rape, against four women.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has now authorised nine new charges relating to four separate women.
They are six counts of rape, one count of attempted rape, one count of assault by penetration and one count of coercive and controlling behaviour.
The allegations relate to four new complainants and took place between 2009 and 2018.
Mr Carrick will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday over the new charges.
Scrumpy Jack has a lot to answer for.

PC David Carrick will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 12 January 2022 in relation to the new charges. PC David Carrick is already due to stand trial at St Albans Crown Court in relation to the 21 earlier charges.
Oliver Perry-Smith, who serves as a PC with Thames Valley Police, has been charged with misconduct in public office over the alleged incidents. (...) three misconduct charges, along with two counts of computer misuse (...) including having a sexual relationship with a woman he met through his work between October 2015 and December 2016. Perry-Smith had been dealing with her case after she had been accused of harassment (...)
He is also charged with obtaining personal information about a woman he met in a shop in Newbury while on duty. He allegedly visited her home for non-police reasons and made "inappropriate remarks" to her in February 2019. Another charge refers to accusations that the constable engaged or attempted to engage in sexual relationships with female members of the public while on duty and in uniform.
The accusations span more than a five-year period from September 2014.
In 2019, Perry-Smith also allegedly used the police national computer system to find personal information about a woman, and data about another person. Previously, the IOPC said Thames Valley Police had referred the case to them in November 2019, and they completed their investigations in June last year. Perry-Smith was released on bail and will next appear at Reading Crown Court on 15 February.
A Surrey Police officer was given a final written warning after a disciplinary hearing which concluded on 7 January decided he had formed an inappropriate emotional relationship with a woman he had met during the course of his work, who was in a vulnerable position.
Gross misconduct allegations against Police Constable (PC) Kuldip Bhart were found proven (...) Our six-month investigation, following a referral from Surrey Police in June 2020, looked at allegations that PC Bhart had formed an inappropriate relationship with a victim of crime while he was working for the force’s Safeguarding Investigation Unit.
PC Bhart was presented with a Victim Care Award in November 2019. They were given the award for their work with the Safeguarding Investigations Unit, which tracks down and arrests offenders involved in serious sexual or domestic abuse.
That's his defence! It just makes him sound even more of a bad person.His wife had been diagnosed with cancer. This diagnosis was just before they were due to marry, and she was still receiving and does in fact still receive treatment.
Yeah, it's not doing much for his credibility. Obviously thought if it was good enough for Bojo, it was good enough for him. Disgraceful.That's his defence! It just makes him sound even more of a bad person.
There is a reasonable argument to be made that, since police officers encounter all kinds of upsetting and gruesome situations in their work, that this kind of hardening to such things is inevitable. It is, if you don't establish a thoroughly embedded psychological wellbeing approach to pre-empt such hardening.
Meet 40 year-old father-of-two, PC Daniel Wallwork, of Avon and Somerset Police ...
... earlier today, he was dismissed without notice for gross misconduct.
PC Daniel Wallwork was sent to an address in Radstock on 16 April 2020 following the sudden death of 42-year-old Sharon Louise Stone, a woman he knew to be vulnerable. While at the address, PC Daniel Wallwork used his own personal phone to take a photo of The Late Sharon Louise Stone as she lay dead, partially clothed and face down on a bed, before sending it to PC Steve Carey on WhatsApp. Both had had previous policing contact with The Late Sharon Louise Stone.
The accompanying message read: "Look who’s turned up dead".
The image was still on PC Daniel Wallwork's personal phone when it was examined by investigators, although he claimed he believed he had deleted it. PC Daniel Wallwork served in the Army with the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers and as a prison officer before joining the police in 2014.
Crime reporter Jon Austin provided some detail on the actual offences and alleged offences in this pre-hearing report:
Chief Superintendent Paul Martin and Chief Inspector Davinder Kandohla of the Metropolitan Police have both been dismissed without notice for gross misconduct, both having been found to have breached standards of professional behaviour.
Chief Superintendent Paul Martin and Chief Inspector Davinder Kandohla were both found to have failed to declare conflicts of interest in a promotion, been involved in improper spending of police funds and mistreated more junior colleagues.
The disciplinary panel found that Chief Superintendent Paul Martin did not disclose a conflict of interest in the promotion process for Chief Inspector Davinder Kandohla. Chief Superintendent Paul Martin was also found to have misused a corporate credit card and behaved badly towards a pregnant colleague.
Chief Inspector Davinder Kandohla failed to declare a conflict of interest in his own promotion process, misled an investigation into an expenses claim he had made and also behaved badly towards junior colleagues, the disciplinary panel found.
The same disciplinary panel also considered allegations against two other officers.
Sergeant James Di-Luzio was found to have misused a corporate credit card and behaved badly towards his junior colleagues and was issued with management advice.
Allegations made against PC Karina Kandohla were not proven.

"Have you got one of these?"
Just a minor point here - and certainly not defending him or his actions - it’s quite common for cops to resign just prior to the hearing - but “allowed” isn’t really the right word as it’s an option to anyone who’s been suspended in any job role really.Perving at a colleague, allowed to resign.PC guilty of gross misconduct over colleague shower filming

“It was such an effective gaslighting: ‘We were just concerned for your mental health, that was why we had to – for your own good – forcibly strip you naked and mash you up.’
“It was so obviously not what they were doing at the time. They were doing it as punishment, they were doing it as intimidation, they wanted to soften me up and get my details.”
...In a cell, three female officers bound Duff by her hands and feet, pinned her to the floor and cut her clothes off with scissors. Duff described the ordeal, which left her with a number of visible injuries, as like a sexual assault.
The CCTV footage then shows the officers who searched Duff returning to the reception. A male officer asks them: “Didn’t find anything untoward on her, ladies?”
“A lot of hair,” one of the female officers replies. The others laugh.
About a minute later, as two male officers go through Duff’s possessions, one asks in mock alarm: “Sorry, sorry, what’s that smell?”
“Oh, it’s her knickers, yeah?” his colleague replies.
A female officer then returns again from handling Duff. “Ugh, I feel disgusting; I’m going to need a shower,” she says.
“You need defumigating,” a male officer tells her.
Another female officer asks her: “Is she rank?”
“No, she’s not actually,” she says.
“She is, her clothes stink,” another male officer says.
“Is it? Her body isn’t,” she replies...

I imagine it's because they only decided to start investigating it when it looked like they might be publicly called to account for it. Which is both utterly unsurprising, and disgusting. Because it means that they think it doesn't matter unless it becomes public knowledge.8 years since the initial incident and yet the Met says that the investigation into the incident is still ongoing. That's fucking unbelievable.
