琳达·威廉姆斯表示，她对伦敦警察局（Met）提起的法律诉讼让她再次遭受了精神创伤；但伦敦警察局方面称他们已经“尽可能迅速且富有同情心地”处理了她的案件。
Linda Williams says her legal action against the Met traumatised her further, but the force says it tried to deal with her case "as quickly and compassionately as possible".
2026年10月23日，英国时间上午10:36：一名曾被同事（同时也是臭名昭著的性侵犯者大卫·卡里克）强奸的警探呼吁伦敦警察局局长辞职。
Friday 23 October 2026 10:36, UK A police detective raped by fellow officer and notorious sexual predator David Carrick has called for the head of the Metropolitan Police to resign.
60岁的琳达·威廉姆斯在2004年遭到了卡里克的袭击，最近从伦敦警察局获得了六位数的赔偿金。
Linda Williams, 60, was attacked by Carrick in 2004 and recently received a six-figure payout from the London force.
51岁的卡里克是一名武装警察，因犯下多起性犯罪而被判处终身监禁，他是英国最臭名昭著的性犯罪者之一。2023年，他因在近二十年间对12名女性犯下48起强奸等暴力罪行而被判至少30年监禁。去年11月，他还被判在20世纪80年代末猥亵了一名12岁女孩，并多次强奸和虐待自己的前伴侣。
Carrick, 51, an armed officer with the Met, is serving 37 life sentences as one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders. He was jailed for at least 30 years in 2023 for a "catalogue of violent and brutal sexual offences", including 48 rapes, against 12 women over nearly two decades. In November last year, he was convicted of molesting a 12-year-old girl in the late 1980s and repeatedly raping and abusing a former partner.
来自赫特福德郡的琳达·威廉姆斯放弃了匿名权。她表示，在她寻求赔偿的过程中，伦敦警察局完全缺乏同理心，这让她一度产生了自杀的念头。
Ms Williams, from Hertfordshire, who has waived her right to anonymity, said the Met treated her with a "complete lack of empathy" as she sought compensation and that she had considered suicide.
“整个过程让我重新体验到了被卡里克强奸时的那种恐惧、无助和被控制的感受，”她说：“如果明天我再次遭到强奸，我可能也不会报案。无论是刑事司法程序还是民事诉讼程序，都给我带来了巨大的精神创伤。我之所以这么说，是因为我自己也曾是一名负责处理性犯罪案件的警员。”她补充道：“他们从未真正意识到我经历了多么可怕的性侵犯，以及这种经历给我留下了多么深的心理创伤；他们也没有承认自己在其中应承担的责任。他们只是认为我在强奸事件发生后尽可能地继续了自己的生活。”
"The whole process has taken me right back to how I felt when I was raped by Carrick, controlled, abused and powerless," she said. "If I was raped tomorrow, I wouldn't report it. Both the criminal justice process and the civil process have been so traumatic. "I say that as someone who was once a sexual offences officer, supporting victims myself." She added: "At no point did I feel they [the Met] sincerely acknowledged that I had been through a horrific sexual attack and that the trauma of that had deeply scarred me, or their role in it all.
琳达·威廉姆斯希望伦敦警察局能采取更多措施来保护妇女和女孩免受暴力侵害，并认为该局的负责人马克·罗利爵士必须辞职。
"They used the fact that I just got on with my life as best I could after the rape against me."
“马克·罗利会声称他们正在竭尽全力阻止针对妇女和女孩的暴力行为，但我并不认同这一点，”威廉姆斯女士说道。
Ms Williams said she wants the Met to do more to protect women and girls from violence and believes the man at the top, commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, must go.
“伦敦警察厅（Met Police）应该设立一个由像我这样的受害者来领导的专门部门——只有我们才真正了解被强奸的痛苦滋味。为了改变这种现状，罗利必须下台，我们需要一位新的警长。”威廉姆斯女士直到2021年才报案；那次发生在22年前的强奸事件给她带来了巨大的心理创伤，导致她此后再也无法建立任何亲密关系。
"Mark Rowley will say they are doing everything they can to stop violence against women and girls, I disagree," said Ms Williams. "The Met need to set up a unit overseen by victims like me who understand what it is like to be raped. For this to happen Rowley needs to go and we need a new commissioner." Ms Williams didn't report the rape until 2021 and said trauma from the attack 22 years ago has meant she hasn't had any relationships since.
“袭击发生后，我根本无法忍受与男性在一起，甚至无法忍受让任何人进入我的家，”她说。
"After the attack, I couldn't face the thought of being with a man or even having somebody in my home," she said.
“这让我度过了一个孤独的圣诞节，也没有任何节日可庆祝……这是我的选择，但背后的原因并非我自己的意愿——这一切都源于那次袭击。卡里克（Carrick）夺走了我原本拥有的未来。”威廉姆斯女士解释道，她当时没有报案是因为她认为根本不会有什么后果，而且这样做可能会让自己陷入危险。
"That makes for a lonely Christmas and no holidays. It's my choice but the reason behind it wasn't my choice. That's down to the attack. Carrick stole the future that I wanted." Ms Williams said she didn't report the rape at the time as she believed nothing would happen, and it could have put her in danger.
“在危险的情况下，我得不到同事们的支持；最终，我怀疑针对卡里克的任何行动都可能无法真正实施，”她补充道。
"I wouldn't have had the back up of my colleagues in dangerous situations and ultimately, I doubt anything would have been done about Carrick," said Ms Williams.
伦敦警察厅表示“深感抱歉”伦敦警察厅的一位发言人表示，警方“对卡里克给受害者带来的伤害和痛苦深感抱歉”，同时也承认警方在预防此类犯罪方面存在“严重的疏漏”，导致卡里克未能被及早抓获。
Met 'truly sorry' A Met Police spokesperson said the force was "truly sorry for the harm and suffering [Carrick] caused his victims" and the "serious flaws" that meant he wasn't caught earlier.
“我们特别关注琳达·威廉姆斯警官所遭受的独特影响——她作为伦敦警察厅的成员，因此不得不面对卡里克的罪行，”发言人说道。
"We recognise the unique and additional impact on DC Linda Williams, whose exposure to Carrick came as a result of her being a Met officer," the spokesperson said.
“尽管经历了巨大的心理创伤，她依然坚持为公众服务，这种精神令人钦佩。”
"Her continued commitment to public service, in spite of the trauma she experienced, is commendable."
发言人还表示，警方已尽力减轻威廉姆斯女士的痛苦，并承诺会尽快、以最富有同情心的方式处理她的申诉。

声明中还提到：“警长此前曾与威廉姆斯警官当面会面，并多次通过电子邮件与她沟通。”
"The commissioner has previously met with DC Williams in person as well as spoken to her via email on multiple occasions," the statement added.
报道称，马克爵士“多次认可”她的勇气，并曾联系她，询问她是否愿意再次会面，“进一步讨论这些问题”。
It said Sir Mark had "repeatedly acknowledged" her courage and had contacted her to see if she would be willing to meet again to "further discuss these issues".
