Serving Metropolitan Police officer, PC Rupert Edwards, must live and sleep at his aunt’s address in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, with an electronically-monitored curfew between 8pm and 8am.

PC Rupert Edwards cannot go into the M25 area, apart from to attend court or pre-arranged meetings with his lawyers, and must not contact any of the complainants or prosecution witnesses in the case.

Ashtead is about 6 miles from me so seeing this really makes me sick / angry.

Not to say the rest of this thread doesn't make me sick / angry.

As a result, PC David Carrick is now facing a total of 14 charges, including rape, false imprisonment and controlling behaviour, after three more alleged victims came forward.

PC David Carrick had initially been charged with one count of rape following a complaint by a separate woman last month.

In relation to the first new alleged victim, PC David Carrick (above) is charged with two counts of rape, one count of coercive and controlling behaviour, one count of false imprisonment, one count of sexual assault, one count of assault by penetration and one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.

In relation to the second new alleged victim, he is charged with one count of assault by penetration, one count of sexual assault and one count of attempted sexual assault by penetration.

And in relation to the third new alleged victim, he is charged with one count of rape, one count of sexual assault and one count of coercive and controlling behaviour.

The Crown Prosecution Service reminded anyone speculating on the case on social media that they could be prosecuted for contempt of court.

“I have 44,000 people working in the Met. Sadly, some of them are abused at home, for example, and sadly, on occasion, I have a bad ’un”

- Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Dame Cressida Dick CBE QPM, speaking at the Women’s Institute, Tuesday 8 July 2021​

PC David Carrick, an armed police officer with the Metropolitan Police's Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, has now admitted multiple rapes and sexual assaults against 12 women, having pleaded guilty to 49 offences, including 24 counts of rape. The scale of offending by PC David Carrick, spanning 17 years, makes him one of the worst sexual offenders in modern criminal history.

Would I be right in thinking that Carrick and Couzens both worked in the same unit? Parliamentary and diplomatic protection command was Couzens' unit as well, right? (eta: yep, looks like it)

Barbara Gray, the assistant commissioner at the Met, said the force was reviewing every past claim of domestic abuse or sexual offence against about 1,000 of the Met’s 45,000 officers and staff.

I don't want to go down the route of saying one rapist is worse than another, because there's no 'less bad' rapist. However that's pretty much a life based on rape and coercive control. Unspeakable. Almost certain that the pattern will go back to his twenties of even earlier, but it was joining the police that provided the real opportunity for his behaviour.

I'm repeating myself here, but: same fucking unit as Couzens. That feels like quite a remarkable "coincidence". Can't help thinking that P&DP must have had some very lively WhatsApp chats going in its day.

No words for this. Including the detail towards the end of that Graun article that the Met will now 'begin the process of formally sacking' him. I know public sector is slow but surely some things merit an instant dismissal.

I think there's a hearing tomorrow (a formality, obviously); it couldn't take place until after the criminal proceedings. He's not on pay, anyway.

I guess it's hard to identify these people sometimes, but this bloke was bought to the police's attention nine times! There's a point at which it begins to look like a deliberate blind eye.

The culture in the police force of 'looking after their own' clearly includes any rapist. Even the worst serial offender in UK history.

Systematic as well as deliberate. There's got to be an institutional contempt for women who complain, along with a series of procedural moves that allow you to 'go through a process' without ever doing the things that even that process nominally suggests you should do.

I just find it really....well, I was going to say unbeliveable but I think the thing that makes me feel so desolate is that it actually is believable.

I'd guess that like couzens, this one was also hiding in plain site. It's very likely that his misogyny would have been on display not just to men in his WhatsApp groups and the like, but to the force more generally. They didn't do anything because in varying degrees they were part of the same culture. In fact, there's more chance this person would have been booted out of the force if he'd been obsessed with equality or rooting out corruption than, as he was, raping women.

 

[bmd]

I keep wondering what's stopping all the other forces in the UK from announcing the problems they're having with the criminals in their work force?

 

[not-bono-ever]

If they get rid of the bad apples, there will be precious few coppers left. It’s not a job that you just drift into. It attracts precisely the people who should be kept at arm’s length

"Bastard Dave". Again, can't help wondering what are the nicknames of all the coppers, especially in that unit, that we've yet to hear about?

This is the most shocking part of this for me. Even after nine times they continued looking the other way. About a guy called 'Bastard' Dave?

This is next level ineptitude, or more likely, deliberate.

Caught the attention of the Hertfordshire Police. It was them not the Met who took the decision to investigate him.

So many in authority within the Met must be guilty of knowingly enabling him Couzens and all the others to continue offending. I want to see them prosecuted and failed too.
