UK court sentences ex-London policeman for serial rapes

A UK judge will sentence an ex-London policeman convicted of serial rapes and sexual assaults over decades, as the force vows to end a culture of lax vetting.

David Carrick, a long-serving officer in London’s Metropolitan Police, has pleaded guilty to 49 charges including 24 counts of rape over the course of 17 years.
