A former Met Police officer has denied eight sex offences against a woman and a girl.

David Carrick, from Stevenage, Hertfordshire, is accused of two counts of rape, one count of sexual assault and one count of coercive and controlling behaviour against a woman between 2014 and 2019 in Stevenage.

The 49-year-old is also charged with five counts of indecent assault against a girl under 16 in Salisbury, Wiltshire, between 1989 and 1990, when he was a teenager.

When he appeared at the Old Bailey, in London, via video link, the former firearms officer entered a not guilty plea to all of the charges. His trial was set for 3 November 2025.

Mr Carrick had previously appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court via video link, where he spoke only to confirm his name and age and no pleas were entered.

He has previously served with the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command within the Metropolitan Police.

His trial is set to be heard at the Old Bailey and a preliminary hearing is listed to take place on 14 March 2025.
