In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Daniel Tranmer, 39, was convicted of a series of sexual assaults against four vulnerable girls. Appearing at Hull Crown Court following a nine-day trial, the defendant—of Nelson Court, Hull, East Yorkshire—was found guilty by a jury after deliberations lasting over five hours. It was reported that Tranmer used his access to several children over a number of years to target them for his own sexual gratification.
The investigation established that the offences first came to light in November 2022 after a report of concern for the welfare of a young girl. Humberside Police reported that as their inquiries continued, further victims came forward with similar accounts of being touched intimately by the defendant. The prosecution reported that Tranmer has a documented sexual interest in children and had systematically managed to gain access to vulnerable victims.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Tranmer tried to talk his way out of trouble by claiming the allegations were made up and that he had committed no offences. Hull Crown Court heard that despite his categorical denials, the jury convicted him of the sexual assault of four girls under the age of 13. The investigation established that while he was convicted of the offences against the girls, he was cleared of a similar charge involving a boy.
Judge Alexander Menary adjourned the sentencing to allow for a report on the level of danger Tranmer poses to the public in the future. For his actions in Hull, the judge extended Tranmer’s conditional bail until May, despite a request from the defence to allow him to attend a pre-booked seaside holiday. The judge issued a stern warning that an immediate sentence of imprisonment will follow at the next hearing and ordered that Tranmer must register as a sex offender.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Tranmer is currently managed under strict conditional bail within the East Yorkshire area while a pre-sentence report assesses his future risk. Due to the nature of his conduct in Hull, which involved the targeting of four different children over several years, his management is a maximum priority. Authorities state that his “sexual interest in children” necessitates the most intensive monitoring by the Public Protection Unit to ensure he does not have contact with minors during this interim period.
As a convicted sex offender, Tranmer’s details are now logged on the national police database. Authorities state that his predatory behaviour in Nelson Court requires permanent vigilance to ensure he cannot exploit further opportunities to gain access to children. Any breach of his bail conditions or failure to attend his sentencing on 8 May will result in immediate arrest to ensure the ongoing safety of the community and to uphold the protection of children from further harm.
