Sources said that the police issued a formal apology to the victims for failing to give Carrick proper disciplinary measures or firing him over his acts of sexual misconduct.

"We should have spotted his pattern of abusive behavior and because we didn't, we missed opportunities to remove him from the organization," the Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner for Professionalism, Barbara Gray, told reporters.

A similar event happened last month when the Met Police announced it suspended and arrested one of its officers, Rupert Edwards, for the count of two sexual offenses.
