Sick paedo who raped two girls in the 80s dies in jail cell with rectal cancer

A twisted paedophile sentenced to 18 years behind bars for raping two young girls in the 80s has died in jail with obesity and rectal cancer.

David Woodhouse, who was jailed after a trial at Grimsby Crown Court, was 65 when he was found guilty of three counts of rape and 12 indecent assault charges in July 2016.

The sicko was just three years off potentially being released on licence, but on October 18 this year he died of heart failure at HMP Full Sutton aged 70.

The offences took place in the 1980s over a six-year period and Judge Peter Kelson C, who sentenced him, called him a "predatory paedophile", Grimsby Telegraph reports.

His lawyer told the judge her client was in bad health and asked for a date of release that "he could work towards so he would not die in prison".

Judge Peter Kelson KC said he'd caused "dreadful and terrible trauma to his victims". Judge Kelson added: "It is agony. To them, it is as if it was yesterday.

"They have shown remarkable courage. They can rest assured you will not be in a position to offend against children anymore. You are a predatory paedophile."

Woodhouse would have been in prison until 2025 before he may have been released on licence.

He had several pre-existing medical conditions including obesity, hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In prison, he was diagnosed with rectal cancer.

A report by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman showed the clinical care Woodhouse received at Full Sutton was equivalent to that which he could have expected to receive in the community. They found no non-clinical issues of concern and made no recommendations.

Two clinical recommendations were made for improving the management of the risk of falls and replacing faulty equipment.
