As investigations into this progressed, everyone was horrified to learn that this woman was just one of many.

This man was a serial rapist still actively working for the police in the same unit as Wayne Cousins.

There were at least 12 different women that he had done this to.

12.

And just like with Cousins, there had been so many red flags.

In fact, inquiries found that there were 16 chances to stop David Carrick that had been missed.

As if our trust hadn't been shattered enough, now there's two of the most dangerous men in London that had been employed by the Metropolitan Police.

As the year went on, 2021 into 2022, more and more complaints came out about police officers in different scenarios.

One of them had pretended to be a model scout and filmed women without their permission.

There were the officers that had taken photos of the dead bodies of Biba Henry and Nicole Smallman and sent them into a WhatsApp chat with other police calling them the dead birds.

The amount of horrific group chats that were exposed was immense.

with one message from a male officer to a female colleague reading, I would happily rape you.

These are the people that are hired and paid money to serve and protect us.

Thankfully, so many pieces of shit lost their job and were handed prison sentences themselves in the aftermath of this case.

It was like Wayne Cousins had opened the floodgates that had been locked for far too long.

And finally, all of this horrific activity could be exposed.

Eventually, even the top dog herself lost her job.

The head of the Metropolitan Police, Commissioner Cressida Dick, had said right from the start that she would not resign from her position despite the public calling for her to do so.

But eventually, as things got worse and worse, she lost the support of our mayor at the time and she handed in her resignation.

Now we've spent the latter part of this episode talking about the horrendous police officers that do need to be named and shamed, but now I think it's time we bring it back to the woman at the centre of this case.
