Back in 2012, Ronald Dean, a Chandlers Ford Paedophile from Hampshire, was sentenced to 25 years for sexual offences over a period exceeding 50 years and has since died in prison at the age of 83.
Ronald Dean was found guilty of 25 offences, including rape, indecent assault, and obstruction of justice.
Dean was declared deceased at Albany Prison, located on the Isle of Wight.
A spokesperson for the Prison Service stated that Ronald Dean was presumed to have died from natural causes.
He was declared deceased in the jail medical facility.
The spokesperson stated that the independent Prisons and Probation Ombudsman will investigate.
Ronald Dean was sentenced to 25 years in prison at Southampton Crown Court after being found guilty of 24 sexual offences involving seven minors aged three to 16 years.
Jurors were informed of how Ronald Dean bribed his victims with gifts, confections, money, and even booze to satiate his ravenous hunger and secure their silence.
A girl was so severely traumatised by her experience that she attempted suicide by overdose.
Ronald Dean systematically assaulted another female, while a third was instructed to remain silent about his violations, even posthumously.
Nonetheless, his disreputable history was revealed when a victim bravely confided in a school nurse, who notified the authorities.
Ronald Dean, still supported by his family and a great-grandfather residing on Fryern Close, Chandlers Ford, was found guilty after a three-week trial of all 24 sexual offences against him, in addition to one count of attempting to obstruct justice by persuading a victim to retract her allegations.
