Officer raped by former police officer David Carrick feared reporting him to bosses
BBC News
At the time Michelle was 38 and Carrick 10 years younger. He had only just finished his probation with the Metropolitan Police. He was "a little bit sort of a Jack the Lad. For the length of service he had, I was surprised he was so confident", Michelle remembers. She feared she would not be believed and would forever be known as the female colleague who "alleges rape"."The culture of the Met then and for some time afterwards was quite male-dominated. It was a bit Life on Mars," she says, referencing the BBC TV series about 1970s policing. She remembers being closed in the boot of a patrol car "for half a shift as a joke" and driven to blue-light calls.
"I'm not a man-hater in any way whatsoever. However, I lack trust and if I get close to a man, I back off. I didn't have the family life that I wanted and I'm much older now and I just haven't had it. I can't say to be sure it was him but it all happened afterwards.
