Carrick used his status as a Metropolitan police officer to commit 48 rapes during a spree of 85 serious offences against 12 women, all of which he has pleaded guilty to.
Today a sentencing hearing will begin and is expected to end tomorrow with the 48-year-old facing decades in prison, having last month admitted a17-year long campaign of terror and humiliation.
Carrick is one of the most prolific sex offenders in modern British legal history, and the scandal has rocked the Met, which missed the rapist in their ranks despite complaints against him.
Most of his offending took place in Hertfordshire and was against women he met socially or on dating apps, or with whom he had a longerterm relationship.
The police investigation will continue even after he begins his prison sentence, with detectives fearing there are more victims who did not come forward to be part of the case they built against Carrick. After he admitted the final charges against him on 16 January, Hertfordshire police appealed for any further victims to come forward.
