I've glanced over to look at the dock several times as the judge sentences Carrick.
He has shown zero emotion throughout and been looking down - even when the judge described him as a monster and someone who abused his trust as an officer supposed to be upholding the law.
Details of Carrick's offending read out by Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb were very graphic indeed.
He hasn't flinched since he sat down.
Further discussing Carrick's attempt to take his own life, the judge says this was "a self-pitying reaction to the shame brought on by these proceedings, rather than remorse".
The judge says Carrick was removed from Belmarsh Prison to Rampton psychiatric hospital after he attempted to take his own life.
Prison authorities feared you were suffering from severe depression, she says.
The judge has finished going through the facts of the case and the details of Carrick's offences. We've unmuted the video feed at the top of this page. She is now discussing sentencing guidelines and her considerations.
The judge says Carrick broke the "trust and security" that would normally exist between people in an intimate encounter.
She proceeds to outline various aggravating factors likely to have counted against Carrick in the formulation of the sentences - repeating some of the graphic details of some of the sex crimes to which he has admitted.
The judge takes consideration of the mitigating factors saying that Carrick described various childhood traumas.
She notes Carrick says he grew up with parents who drank to excess and became the target of abuse in his teens by his stepfather.
"As an adult you abused alcohol yourself - although careful not to do so when working," she says.
The judge again calls attention to Carrick's job at the time when many of his attacks took place - his "unique and defining office of a police constable".
In spite of his role, he caused "broad devastation" to his victims, the judge says.
She then turns to the question of possible mitigating factors in his sentence.
The judge says that Carrick has not expressed any remorse or regret for his prolific offending.
She says his offending could be described as an "unrestrained campaign of rape against women".
Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb is now moving on to the sentencing guidelines.
The judge at Southwark Crown Court, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb, moves onto the impact on Carrick's victims.
She says he has caused "irretrievable devastation in the lives of those you have abused".
There are other references to "long-lasting psychological harm" and "damaged mental health".
The judge adds that some of the women now feel they cannot trust men, or the police.
The judge says that Carrick would turn into a "monster" after drinking alcohol.
The court heard yesterday that a number of his offences happened while he was drunk.
The judge also reflects on the fact that Carrick met multiple women via dating apps.
What we're hearing from the judge is her laying out the evidence to support the charges which were brought against Carrick.
She is going through the indictment - the charge sheet - to put on record the offences he has admitted.
Carrick showed "utter contempt" for another victim whom he shut naked into a small cupboard under his stairs - even when she had a panic attack, the judge continues.
Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb says Carrick ridiculed and shamed her.
"You drilled into her that you were the police and the law," she says.
We're not bringing you every detail of the judge's remarks on this page, because the detail of his attacks on women are in some cases extremely graphic.
Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb is going through the brutal and violent ways in which he attacked his victims, and how he exerted control over them.
Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb speaks about another relationship Carrick admitted was coercive and controlling.
Some of the abuse was witnessed by a child, the judge says.
She describes the months of abuse as a "harrowing course of conduct".
The judge continues to go through the different counts to which Carrick has pleaded guilty.
She notes that Carrick at one point attended a police training course on domestic abuse.
The details of his crimes are interwoven with mentions of Carrick's career as a police officer - including a tenure in the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Unit.
The judge is going through the offences one-by-one. She says Carrick brandished a knife at one of his victims and slashed her shirts.
She notes that in 2009 Carrick moved from the Barnet borough policing team to the specialist diplomatic protection group "routinely carrying a firearm".
Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb says a fourth theme emerging is his knowledge that the status of being a police officer continued to allow him to offend as he did.
We've muted our video feed again due to further graphic descriptions from the judge.
Referring to the "themes" of Carrick's offending, the judge tells the former officer he “offended against all sorts of women including two fellow police officers”.
Some of the live broadcast is then cut for legal reasons, which is to protect the identity of the victims.
She continues by reciting an incident in which Carrick is accused of brandishing a knife at one woman.

Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb says Carrick put a black hand gun to the head of a woman he attacked.
"She had no idea if it was real," the judge said adding the victim froze with terror.
The judge says Carrick bit and bruised the victim during the ordeal.
Looking over at Carrick he remains motionless in the dock.
