UK policeman jailed for life over serial rapes, must serve at least 30 years
LONDON: A UK judge on Tuesday sentenced a former policeman to life in jail, with a minimum term of 30 years, for dozens of rapes and sexual assaults in the latest case to shame London's Metropolitan Police force.
Carrick, 48, a long-serving officer, will serve three decades behind bars before he can be considered for parole. He told the court on Monday that Carrick"frequently relied on his charm to beguile and mislead the victims ... and would then use his power and control, in part because of what he did for a living, to stop them leaving or consider reporting him".
The police had records of multiple complaints and allegations involving Carrick's behaviour but he never faced a disciplinary hearing.Interior Minister Suella Braverman said Monday that it was"clear that policing must do better".
