Raped Officer: Met Police Response 'Like Rape All Over Again'

23 Oct

Summary

Detective raped by PC David Carrick found Met handling unbearable.
She felt the process of seeking damages left her suicidal.
The victim calls for Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley's resignation.

A Metropolitan Police detective has revealed that the force's handling of her case, following a rape by a fellow officer, felt 'like being raped all over again.' Det Con Linda Williams was sexually assaulted in 2004 by PC David Carrick. Carrick was subsequently jailed for life in 2023 after being convicted of sexual offenses against Williams and 11 other individuals.

Williams sought damages from the Metropolitan Police, alleging they failed to protect her from Carrick. She conveyed that the subsequent legal and investigative process led her to feel suicidal. As a result of the perceived inadequate response and lack of cultural change within the force, Williams is now demanding the resignation of Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley.
