Former bus driver Brian Daniels died in prison
A PREDATORY paedophile died in a County Durham jail days after more of his victims came forward.
According to a prison report published on March 1, 2021, Brian Daniels, 74, was jailed for 18 years after being convicted of a string of attacks on four young girls.
Daniels – formerly known as Brian Hildreth – was also handed a life-long sexual harm prevention order by Newcastle Crown Court.
The string of horrific offences included rape with the youngest victim being just five-years-old.
Daniels had been due to be released on licence in May 2020 but when confronted with new allegations from three more victims confessed to 11 historical sexual offences.
