In 2019, the Offender Database recorded that Daniel Kilbee, then 38, formerly of Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, was convicted of further sexual atrocities while already serving a life sentence. On appearing at court, the “depraved sexual predator” was found guilty of four additional rapes and two sexual assaults against a teenage girl. The court reported that Kilbee had groomed his victim and “traded” her to others to pay off a personal drug debt.
The investigation into his latest crimes established a pattern of extreme exploitation. Thames Valley Police reported that Kilbee built a relationship of trust with the vulnerable teenager specifically to facilitate frequent abuse and physical assault. The prosecution reported that these convictions followed his 2016 life sentence, which had been handed down at Oxford Crown Court for 30 offences committed against six victims between 1997 and 2015, including the rape of a two-year-old girl in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Kilbee’s historical offending involved filming himself assaulting a helpless toddler while they were alone. Oxford Crown Court heard in 2016 that he possessed hundreds of indecent images and videos of the two-year-old victim and other unidentified children. The prosecution reported that during his most recent trial, the Tremendous courage of his teenage victim was highlighted as the key factor in ensuring Kilbee remained behind bars for a significantly longer duration.
The judge noted that Kilbee’s actions—specifically “trading” a child for drug money—represented the highest level of depravity. For his actions in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, he had previously admitted to five counts of rape, four counts of sexual assault, and twelve counts of making indecent photographs. The judge noted that the latest convictions for rape and sexual assault further cement his status as a permanent danger to the public, with no set date yet for his additional sentencing hearing.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Kilbee is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) at the highest level of oversight by the prison estate and Thames Valley Police.
