Detective raped by fellow officer David Carrick calls on Met chief to resign

A detective who was raped by former Scotland Yard officer David Carrick has called for the resignation of the head of the Metropolitan Police, stating that the handling of her case was akin to being raped all over again. Linda Williams, 60, who has waived her right to anonymity, was attacked by Carrick in 2004 and has since launched a legal case against the Met for failing to protect her from the serial rapist.

Williams has settled her case for an undisclosed six-figure sum without the Met admitting liability. Carrick, 51, is one of the UK's most notorious sex offenders, currently serving 37 life sentences for attacking over a dozen women.

Williams, from Hertfordshire, described the treatment she received from the police during her legal claim as "devastating," leading her to contemplate suicide. She expressed her feelings, stating:

"The whole process has taken me right back to how I felt when I was raped by Carrick: controlled, abused and powerless."
