The first victim of Met Police rapist David Carrick to publicly reveal her identity has called for him to be sentenced for decades after he admitted dozens of terrifying attacks on women.
Darciane Nunes Da Silva has chosen to waive her anonymity to encourage other victims, whom she is convinced are out there, to come forward. Armed cop Carrick, 48, is now one of the country's worst known sex offenders after he pleaded guilty to 48 rapes on 12 women, including 43-year-old Darciane, over the course of two decades.
The Mirror reports that she hopes he gets "40 years in jail" to make up for the hurt and terror he inflicted on his victims. Among the vicious attacks he carried out on Darciane, Carrick: strangled and slapped her; controlled what she ate, when she slept and when she could use her phone; spied on her with hidden cameras; and punished her for "disobedience", including releasing his pet snakes to terrify her.
Speaking ahead of the two-day sentencing hearing at London's Southwark crown court, starting on Monday, Darciane said: "I would like him to get 40 years in jail. I think that would be fair because I know some of his victims lost 20 years because of what he did.
"He needs to be punished. I don't believe he can ever change and I worry that if he gets out he will hurt someone else. But I hope by then he will be so old he won't be able to."
Some of Carrick's other victims have spoken out anonymously, but Darciane is the first to go public with her own identity. She hopes her bravery will inspire others who may have been a victim of Carrick's disgusting attacks to report them.
She continued: "I'm speaking out now because I want everyone to know what he did to me. He tried to destroy me as a woman. I have been

Katie Price has revealed the emotional toll on her family after being contacted by the Metropolitan Police to inform her that officers had been sharing ‘inappropriate’ content about her son Harvey Price. The My Crazy Life star, 44, was left ‘disgusted’ after learning of the ‘derogatory’ messages, including images, which were allegedly posted by Met Police officers on Whatsapp between 2016 and 2018. Harvey, 20, is Katie’s eldest son and has Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic condition resulting in obesity, and Septo-Optic Dysplasia, which affects sight and the development of the brain.
for the liberal outlet Salon, Cross complained about certain comedians who are trying to brand themselves as heroes of “free speech” by railing against cancel culture.He specifically mentioned comedians who make jokes about “trans people,” a dig that seem directed at comedians Dave Chappelle and Bill Maher, who have courted controversy for not pulling their comedic punches against the LGBTQ community. Cross stated they should just drop their cancel culture fight and stop with the jokes that hurt “hundreds of thousands of people.”During the latest episode of “Salon Talks,” the “Arrested Development” star and anti-Trump stand-up comic took aim at his colleagues, saying, “All the comics b—- and moan about, you know, ‘they’re trying to cancel me for this joke I made.’ Most of the time it’s a nothing joke and it doesn’t matter.”Further belittling comedians’ fight against cancel culture, Cross stated, “And now you are positioning yourself as this bulls— voice of ‘They’re not going to cancel me. You can’t silence me.’ For what? Your dumb joke that about trans people? Who gives a s—?”He continued, asking, “I mean, is it that important to you? Just move on and not hurt, you know, hundreds of thousands of people.”Cross’ dismissive account of certain comedians dealing with cancel culture seemed to overlook the consequences stemming from Dave Chappelle’s anti-trans jokes for instance. Chappelle’s jokes have prompted venues to cancel his stand up shows last minute and resulted in Netflix employees striking at company headquarters to get the streaming platform to remove his specials.Chappelle was even attacked during one of his L.A.
