In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Danny Bartram was handed a substantial extended prison sentence for the rape and sexual penetration of a child under 13. Bartram—of Nottinghamshire—was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court in April 2026 after being convicted of multiple counts of extreme sexual violence against a minor. It was reported that the investigation into Bartram’s predatory conduct led to a total of five serious charges, reflecting a campaign of abuse that necessitated his immediate removal from the community.
The investigation established that Bartram subjected the victim to two counts of assault by penetration and two counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. Nottingham Crown Court heard that the most grave charge involved the rape of a child under 13. The prosecution reported that the nature of these crimes required a specialized police response to secure the evidence needed for a conviction and to provide the necessary safeguarding for the young survivor in Nottinghamshire.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Bartram poses a significant and ongoing danger to children, leading to the implementation of an extended determinate sentence. Nottingham Crown Court heard that Bartram was handed a 16-year and nine-month sentence, of which he must serve a minimum of 11 years in custody before being considered for parole. The investigation established that upon his eventual release, he will remain under a five-year extended licence period, ensuring he is subject to strict supervision for over two decades.
Judge-led proceedings concluded with the imposition of the most restrictive ancillary orders available to the court. For his actions in Nottinghamshire, Bartram was placed on the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely and handed an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO). The judge noted that a Permanent Restraining Order was also necessary to provide lifelong protection for the victim, marking Bartram as a high-priority offender who requires permanent monitoring by the authorities.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Bartram is managed as a high-risk dangerous predator within the national prison estate and the Nottinghamshire area. Due to the nature of his conduct—which involved the rape and sexual penetration of a child under 13—his management is a maximum priority for the Nottinghamshire MAPPA (Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements) team. Authorities state that his 11-year minimum term ensures he will remain incarcerated until at least the late 2030s, followed by intensive supervision.
As a registered sex offender for life, Bartram’s details are permanently logged on the national police database. Authorities state that his indefinite SHPO and permanent restraining order are essential tools to prevent any future contact with his victim or any proximity to other children. Any failure to notify police of his movements upon release or any attempt to bypass his digital and physical restrictions in Nottinghamshire will result in immediate recall to prison to ensure the ongoing safety of the public from his demonstrated pattern of extreme sexual violence.
QUESTION – Given that the offender must serve a minimum of 11 years before even being considered for parole, do you believe that “Extended Licences” should be a mandatory legal requirement for every individual convicted of a sexual offence against a child under the age of 13?
