Rapist cop David Carrick is spending 23 hours a day in his cell following a vicious attack by fellow cons.

The ex- Met Police officer has been in isolation since the battering, which sources said left him “black and blue”. An insider tonight told how the serial sex fiend rarely leaves his cell after the ambush.

They said: “He was badly beaten up so officers placed him in a single cell and he has practically no social interaction. “He’s got a TV and is allowed 20 minutes in the gym each day but that’s about it.”

Another source added: “The only thing prisoners hate more than an ex-policeman is a sex offender – and Carrick is both. “From the get-go the men here were out to get him. He was a marked man. This was a pretty nasty beating.”

Carrick, 48, became one of Britain’s worst sex offenders after pleading guilty to 48 rapes against 12 women over two decades. The former firearms officer began his 30-year sentence at category-A Belmarsh in south-east London – home to Grindr killer Steven Port and Michael Adebolajo, who murdered soldier Lee Rigby in 2013.

The judge who sentenced him in February branded him “monstrous” with a “criminal mindset”. More than 10 people contacted local forces to report further offences after the two-day hearing, including sexual assault.

And the police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police conduct, last month launched a gross misconduct probe into 10 officers and staff suspected of bungling the case.

The fiend, from Stevenage, Herts, is feared to have begun his string of sex attacks in 2003, when he raped a woman at gunpoint before holding her hostage in his flat. A source claims he is yet to show an ounce of remorse.

They added: “He’s shown nothing at all – which just proves what an evil, sadistic character he really is. He doesn’t give a damn about his victims and most likely never will. “David is a narcissist. He’s far too full of self-importance to even consider the impact of his behaviour on anybody but himself.”

The Prison Service declined to comment on individual prisoners.
