Inside rapist cop David Carrick’s lair including tiny cupboard where monster locked victims and cameras to watch them
PHOTOS of police rapist David Carrick’s lair emerged yesterday as he appeared in court at the start of a two-day sentencing hearing.
One image showed the tiny cupboard under the stairs where the Met Police monster locked victims naked before raping and torturing them.
Another was of a camera Carrick, 48, had in his lounge to remotely watch victims while on duty and relay insults via a microphone.
Other snaps showed his bathroom and outdoor cameras at three-bed terraced home in Stevenage, Herts.
One woman was locked naked in the cupboard — described by police as the size of a dog crate — at least ten times by the depraved Downing Street firearms cop.
Prosecutor Tom Little KC said if the woman upset Carrick, “she would be punished, sometimes by acts of violence and on other occasions she was shut in a small cupboard under the stairs.”
London’s Southwark crown court also heard how Carrick sent a woman a photo of his gun while he was at work, telling her: “Remember I am the boss.”
Some women were in long-term relationships with the officer.
Others met him through dating sites, a sports club and wine bars, it was said.
Two were police officers, a couple childhood friends and another worked as a cleaner.
It was revealed Carrick raped one woman at gunpoint after meeting her at a wine bar and luring her to his former home in North London.
Mr Little said Carrick used his “power and control” as a police officer to carry out “violent and brutal” attacks and deter victims from coming forward.
Carrick — who worked on the Met’s Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection unit — is due to be jailed today.
The former soldier has admitted 49 charges, including 24 counts of rape, against 12 women over a 17-year period.
Some of the charges incorporate multiple offences, with an overall tally of at least 85 separate crimes, including 71 sex attacks and 48 rapes, as well as coercive control and false imprisonment.
The court heard impact statements from survivors.
One said she “encountered evil” — adding: “I honestly thought he was going to kill me.”
Mr Little said the case “falls short of meriting a whole-life sentence” but sought a discretionary life sentence with a fixed minimum term.
Carrick was sacked last month by the Met.
Outrage erupted when it emerged he had been named to police on nine occasions before finally being unmasked as one of Britain’s most prolific sex offenders.
Met assistant commissioner Barbara Gray reiterated an apology to Carrick’s victims for force failings on the eve of his sentencing.
The hearing continues.
