Four police officers and a civilian employee are set to face disciplinary action due to alleged mistakes in the investigation of David Carrick, a serial rapist who was able to continue his attacks on multiple women. Carrick, a former member of the Metropolitan Police, had been reported to law enforcement on eight separate occasions regarding various allegations, yet no significant action was taken until his arrest in 2021. The failures in handling these reports have raised serious concerns about the police's response to such serious allegations.
