@offenceregister: Brian Haines Wellingborough Paedophile Child Sex Offender In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Brian Haines, 90, died while serving a custodial sentence for the sexual assault of two young girls. It was reported that Haines, formerly of Reading, Berkshire, died on 6 February 2026 at an external hospital after being taken from HMP Five Wells in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. At the time of his death, he was serving an 11-year sentence imposed in 2017 for sexual activity with a child and assault by penetration. The investigation into Haines’ original crimes established a history of predatory behaviour and "depraved" physical violence. Thames Valley Police reported that Haines targeted an eight-year-old girl, carrying out assaults so severe that they resulted in internal injury and vaginal bleeding. The prosecution reported that Haines was also sentenced for a separate incident where he had kissed the breast of an 11-year-old girl while acting as a babysitter, proving he was a "vile" risk to children placed in his care. Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail The court reported that Haines' actions had a devastating impact on the young survivors and their families. Reading Crown Court heard in 2017 that the defendant had abused his position as a family acquaintance to access his victims. The investigation established that Haines, then in his early 80s, had "shamefully" used his age to appear harmless while carrying out his "vile" attacks. The Sentencing Judge in 2017 noted that the severity of the assaults on the eight-year-old girl necessitated a substantial custodial term, despite the defendant’s advanced age. For his actions in Reading, Haines was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Following his death in Wellingborough, a mandatory investigation has been opened by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO). This investigation is standard for all deaths in custody and will review the clinical care Haines received at HMP Five Wells and the external hospital before his death.
