A SADISTIC Met Police officer held a gun to a victim's head and told another he would be the "last thing she saw" in a 17-year reign of terror.

David Carrick, 48, tortured his victims as he abused his position in the police to "charm and beguile" them.

The monster locked women naked in a cupboard under the stairs for ten hours at a time, controlled what they ate and branded them his "slaves".

He was revealed as one of the UK's worst serial rapists last month after admitting 49 charges – including 24 counts of rape.

Some of the multiple-incident counts relate to at least 85 separate offences -including at least 71 sexual offences and 48 rapes.

Shockingly, it also emerged Carrick came to police attention nine times before his arrest after rape and domestic violence allegations were made against him.

At the start of his two-day sentencing hearing today, the predator's evil crimes were revealed for the first time.

Southward Crown Court was told Carrick would "often humiliate his victims in a number of different ways".

Two women were kept in the cupboard under his stairs while others were urinated on or attacked with a belt.

He put his hands around one victim's throat and told her he was "going to be the last thing she saw" and "brandished" a knife at another.

Prosecutor Tom Little KC told how he invited one woman back to his home after claiming he was the "safest person that she could be with and that he was a police officer".

Once there, he told her "she couldn't go" and "grabbed her by the hair and put his hand round her mouth, dragging her backwards".

The prosecutor said: "He threw her on the bed. He held her down. He grabbed her arms. He had taken his shirt off. She bit his arm and he put his hand behind the bed.

"He searched for something and then put a black handgun to her head and said to her 'you are not going'.

"She froze".

Carrick also attacked another as she sat on the toilet after developing a sick interest in "urination for sexual gratification".

And he offered a victim he raped five times £1,000-a-month to be his "s**t" as he coercively controlled her.

She recalled how in one attack, she was "sweating from the pain and crying" and said Carrick would watch her remotely after making her cut ties with her family and friends.

In another chilling encounter, he stood naked and waved goodbye to a victim he raped "as if nothing had happened".

Controlling Carrick also told a victim she "belonged to him and that she must obey him" – including with the clothes she wore and what she spent money on.

He threatened the woman with a police baton and "punished" her by shutting her in the cupboard under the stairs.

She told how she would scream out in pain while being repeatedly raped by Carrick but didn't tell anyone as the fiend was a "police officer and very powerful".

Describing Carrick's 17-year reign of terror, Mr Little KC said: "If the offending had to be accurately and fairly summarised, it was systematic.

"It was catalogue of violent and brutal sexual offences perpetrated on multiple victims, whether he was in a controlling or coercive relationship with them or not, or even if it was just a single occasion.

"The reality was that it did not matter who the victim was, the reality was, if he had the opportunity, he would rape them, sexually abuse or assault them and humiliate them.

"Some of his victims were either appreciably older or younger than him – they were all, in their own ways, vulnerable."

Carrick worked for the Met's Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command unit – the same department as Sarah Everard's killer Wayne Couzens.

It is not clear if the pair knew each other while working at the elite unit at the same time.

The gun cop, whose colleagues branded him "B*****d Dave", met some of his victims on dating apps such as Tinder and Badoo.

He would flash his warrant card to lure the women into a false sense of security and told them: "I’m a police officer, you can trust me”.

The monster also boasted about meeting the Prime Minister in his role guarding parliamentary, government and diplomatic buildings.

Evil Carrick would appear charming at first before spending time "developing relationships to sustain his appetite for degradation and control".

He forced women to clean his home naked, carried out degrading acts against them, cut them off from family including their children and whipped them with belts.

One victim was forced into a tiny cupboard smaller than a dog crate, while others were forced to perform sex acts until they "fought for breath".

Carrick also controlled how much they ate and when they slept, telling them: “You’re only allowed to eat this much of an apple today”.

The monster would abuse his position in the police to terrify his victims into silence.

The women ranged from a school pal to a previous abuse victim, with some abused at the home in Stevenage he shared with his pet snake.

Another victim claimed she was attacked after she woke up naked and covered in a sick in a hotel following drinks with Carrick in St Albans.

Carrick allegedly raped her while calling himself a "dominant b*****d".

She came forward after seeing another case of a rapist police officer, but the offence against her has been left to lie on the court file.

When officers swooped on his home, Carrick told them "not again" before giving a "no comment" interview.

Carrick was described as "very persuasive but also manipulative" to the point of being "cocky".

He first served in the Military before becoming a Met Police officer from August 2001.

Eight years later, a domestic abuse complaint was made against him but no further action was taken.

The woman who made the allegation is one of the 12 victims.

In 2019, Carrick was accused of assault and criminal damage but again, no action was taken.

He was also cleared to return to work just weeks after first being accused of rape.

The predator was not even subjected to a fresh round of vetting as a result of the July 2021 rape allegation.

And he passed vetting back in 2001 despite being accused of burglary and malicious communications when a relationship ended.

The Met has now referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) and apologised for not stopping him sooner.

In total, Carrick pleaded guilty to 49 offences against 12 women including 24 rapes between 2003 and 2020.

He also admitted nine counts of sexual assault, three charges of coercive and controlling behaviour, two attempted rape, one count of indecent assault and three of false imprisonment.

Carrick further pleaded guilty to five counts of assault by penetration, one count of attempted sexual assault by penetration and one of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.

He denied a count of rape in September 2020 relating to a 13th woman but the CPS decided it was not in the public interest to proceed to trial on that charge.

Assistant Commander Barbara Gray, the Met's lead for Professionalism, said: "It is nearly three weeks since David Carrick entered the last of his guilty pleas.

"In doing so, he admitted to the most appalling offences against women.

"I am truly sorry for the harm and devastation he has caused them. We let them down and we failed to identify a man in the ranks of the Metropolitan Police Service who carried out the most awful offences.

"He should not have been a police officer."
