I find this interesting and possibly disturbing that he worked in the same unit as Wayne CouzensA Metropolitan Police officer has denied a total of 20 offences against four women, including rape, sexual assault, false imprisonment and controlling behaviour.
PC David Carrick, 46, of Stevenage, Hertfordshire, entered almost two dozen not guilty pleas as he appeared at St Albans Crown Court on Friday.
[...]
Three more women came forward following his first court appearance and he was charged with 19 additional offences, allegedly carried out between January 1 2017 and July 1 2020.
The additional charges include: six more counts of rape, five of sexual assault, two of sexual assault by penetration, two of coercive and controlling behaviour, two of false imprisonment, attempted sexual assault by penetration and causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.
Mr Carrick answered 'not guilty' or 'not guilty, sir' when each of the charges were put to him.
Prosecutor Tom Little told the judge there may be more charges brought in the case.
Patrick Hill, defending did not make an application for bail.
He said the defence for the first 19 charges will be one of consent and that the 20th, the St Albans rape allegation, did not take place.
Judge Michael Kay QC provisionally set a date for a six-week trial beginning on April 26 next year at St Albans Crown Court.
