Sadiq Khan and Suella Braverman are trying to cancel rapist police officer David Carrick's pension, but Home Office rules mean it's likely he will keep at least some of it
Carrick, 48, pleaded guilty to 49 charges, including 24 of rape, nine of sexual assault and three of false imprisonment on Monday. He was fired from the police on Tuesday.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has vowed to seek the forfeiture of the state-funded pension because his crimes were committed in connection with his job, with Home Secretary Suella Braverman reportedly backing the call.A spokesman for the Mayor of London said: "The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime will pursue pension forfeiture in this case as it is clear that Pc Carrick committed offences in connection with his service as a member of a police force.
Home Office guidance says that pension forfeiture can only be applied for when an officer has a conviction "committed in connection with their service as a member of a police force" and the offence has been certified by the Home Secretary as "liable to lead to a serious loss of confidence in the public service" or "gravely injurious to the interests of the state".Such applications are usually made after a police officer has committed a crime while on duty.
However, court decisions have in the past determined an officer's pension can only be forfeited by up to 65% - the contributions that have been made by the police force, and not their own contributions.
